Have Gun, Will Travel: Postcards From The Friendly City

Amazing songwriters give me a sense of familiarity. Not in an "I've heard this before" kind of way, but in a "this feels right" kind of way. Have Gun, Will Travel is definitely one of those bands - the're innovative, talented and just "feel right".

I really hope they escape the "alt-country" label that dogs most bands as talented as these guys and Postcards from the Friendly City reaches a broader audience than it seems to be reaching now. Have Gun, Will Travel's music is fresh, enthusiastic, and fun. However, they also have a sophistication to them that most bands could barely scratch if their careers lasted centuries.

Postcards from the Friendly City is a masterpiece and I am really upset that I did not include it on my top list last year. Great album and definitely worth your purchase.
