Slowey and The Boats "Slowey Goes West" LP

"A sunset cruise to where the wild west meets the Pacific breeze"

On their 4th LP, Slowey and The Boats take a sharp turn from the tropical influences that have been the band's North Star for over a decade. To set Slowey's new course, the band has tacked toward the land of mesas, rattlesnakes, cowboy tall tales, and Stetson hats. Maybe it was inevitable that the band would head west. After all - starting in 1865, Stetson Hats were made in Philadelphia, the home city of Slowey and the Boats.

The concept album features classics of the western songbook by songwriters such as Cole Porter and Roy Rogers. "This album pays tribute to some of our favorite songs of the American West" according to Boats captain Isaac "Slowey" Stanford.

"This collection of tunes will take our listeners on a musical journey across the western deserts and beyond," continues Stanford. "There are classic cowboy songs like "Tumbling Tumbleweeds” and “Don’t Fence Me In”, and also a few surprise selections such as Duke Ellington's "Warm Valley."

"We think our fans are really going to love this album,” concludes Stanford. “So saddle up and get ready to head west!”
