Release Notes:
The Lost Trailers initially caught the attention of Willie Nelson in
2000 when he heard an early demo and invited them to play his Annual
4th of July Picnic. Three stolen trailers later and six years of
non-stop touring, the Atlanta-based quintet brings their straight
from the hip country music to country fans everywhere with the
release of their BNA Records debut, The Lost Trailers, on August 29.
Their music features Stokes Nielson's gift for songwriting, Ryder
Lee's passionate vocals, Manny Medina's signature guitar licks, Jeff
Potter and Andrew Nielson's driving rhythm, topped off with
distinctive Trailer harmonies. The Lost Trailers take contemporary
country music and give it a youthful, distinctive stamp while giving
new life to age-old strengths such as storytelling, musicianship,
positive themes and an underdog spirit.
"We've wanted to make this record our whole life," Stokes says,
"From growing up in the rural south, to touring all over America the
past few years, this album embodies what The Lost Trailers are all
about."
After the loss of their third trailer, the band was devastated and
didn't know if they would be financially able to continue, having
lost thousands of dollars worth of equipment. Over a meeting in
Atlanta at their favorite BBQ restaurant, the band decided to give
their dream one last shot. Shortly after that decision, Nashville
producer Blake Chancey caught the band's live show at the legendary
Billy Bob's Texas, and immediately offered to produce their next
record. Within months they were signed to BNA Records, and their
single, "Why Me," recently entered the Country Singles Chart.
"We're very proud that this album is self-titled," says Ryder. "This
is our sound...this is Trailer Country."
The Lost Trailers was produced by Blake Chancey with Stokes having
penned 10 of the 11 tracks. 'Why Me' and 'Simple Life' deal with
real-life struggles and redemption, while the sunny 'Summer of Love'
brings back memories of lost summer breaks. 'Dixie Boy Special,'
'Hey Baby' and 'Gravy' evoke a let loose and just have fun attitude.
Recently chosen as the only country act for AOL Music Breakers, The
Lost Trailers join past Breakers artists including 2006 Best New
Artist Grammy winner John Legend, Fall Out Boy, Sugarland, Avril
Lavigne, Josh Groban, 50 Cent and Michelle Branch, among others.
