Product Review

The Turnpike Troubadours self-titled album featuring the quintet s signature blend of roots
rock, folk, and raw country played with grit, passion, and conviction. Formed in 2007, the
group has built a rabid and loyal fanbase that is ever expanding. It s no longer news when
they draw 5,000-plus at Billy Bob s in Fort Worth, sell out three nights in a row at Gruene
Hall, or turn several hundred away at the Legendary Stubb s Bar-B-Q in Austin. Word has
spread though; their shows in Chicago, St. Louis, and elsewhere have pulled in more than
1,000 fans. And they ve drawn full houses at Joe s Pub in New York and The Troubadour
in L.A., among many other nightspots from coast to coast. However, the true strength at
the core of Turnpike Troubadours has always been their songwriting. Their new album is
a testament to that. Based on their honest songwriting, great live performances, and hard
work, The Turnpike Troubadours is not likely to be overlooked in 2015.
