It all adds up to a new level of sophistication for the band, as well as a conscious return to a more acoustic-based sound. With the second and third albums we went with a little more electric approach. This record is earthier and that was intentional. We don't want to ever feel like we've sold out. We just can't do that.
Truth be told, there are millions of people who feel exactly that way.
People who want their country music to break new ground and look to the future. And as always with BlackHawk, the sky's the limit.
