chronology - Thu or Die Rodeo Radio (2006)

Internashville Urban Hymns is the first studio album released in 2005 by the German music group The BossHoss . Apart from three compositions by the singer and rhythm guitarist Hoss Power , the album consists of commercially successful rock and pop pieces arranged in country style. It is the only album of the band on which Boris "Russ" Kontorowski can be heard as lead guitarist.

General

Power was the sole producer and arranger of the album. He also did the mixing together with Sir Frank Doe. As with every subsequent release by the band, Boss Burns contributed the graphic design, but on Internashville Urban Hymns he did so under the pseudonym Alec Tricity . The design was complemented by photos by Erik Weiss: each band member was individually portrayed. A small characterization was written for each pseudonym.

In 2011 the band said in an interview about the album: “The first record we made sounds like 'recorded in the barn' - and that was exactly the right thing to do: Something falls off the stool in the background if an amplifier falls over, something buzzes and there are also errors - deliberately charming errors or only discovered afterwards that we then left in. It just had to sound like that! "

Track list

The titles are merged into each other by vocal and sound interplay.

criticism

Oliver Ding wrote for plattentests.de : “Everything is yodeled, dumbled and scrubbed through the washboard so consistently that every cliché helplessly waves the white flag. And bury the last remnant of claim far out on the prairie. This music is tattooed from head to hoof. She drinks liters of canned beer and smokes like a chimney. And never has it been implemented so warmly. Subtle like a horse's fart, stubborn like herpes. But it is well known that the most exhausted jukebox still sounds best. The BossHoss are a goddamn rodeo. For greenhorns out of conviction. "
