    Unrequited love and broken hearts, suicidal tendencies and feeling restless, junkies and drinkers, dreams and traumas, family and manslaughter - all of it themes, who've been waiting for 4 long years to be picked up again by One Bar Town. And finally, the fivepiece answered the call. Via their new, and fourth, album.
    'Steal, Nick & Borrow' easily steer clear of all sentimental sentiments when dealing with the abovementioned rather serious issues. Instead One Bar Town have written the songs, you would also have expected from the likes of: R.E.M., The Cardigans or Wilco, on the lyrical subject matter.

    One Bar Town doesn't just stick to Country, Bluegrass or Rootsrock on their fourth album. While they always stayed to true to their roots on their previous albums: 'Power Of Principles' (2001), 'Say Me A Rosary' (2003) and 'Boy Scout Songs' (2004). On 'Steal, Nick & Borrow' they really stretch their musical boundaries. From captivating ballads ('Why I Don't Drive The Van'), over hookdriven Rocksongs ('Smallish Victories'), to catchy folk tunes ('The MacDonald Route'). Elsewhere the poptinged 60s sound of 'My Suicide Note' reminds you of scenes from Robert Altmans' cultmovie 'M*A*S*H' from 1970, and Johnny Mandel's brilliant song 'Suicide Is Painless'. Big screen cinema so to speak!

    "The band from the high north, fronted by Danish Kent Nielsen, continue to dig deep into to musical roots of the United States on their fourth album. Flawless Americana Beat and Streetdog Songs about drinkers, junkies and other loosers".
    Uli Lemke/Blue Rhythm

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Unerwiderte Liebe und gebrochene Herzen, Suizidgefahr und Entwurzelung, Junkies und Trinker, Traum und Trauma, Familie und Totschlag - Themen, die in den vergangenen vier Jahren geradezu nach One Bar Town gerufen haben. Und diesen Ruf haben die fünf Jungs erhört und auf ihren nunmehr vierten Silberling gepresst.
    'Steal, Nick & Borrow' kommt allerdings nicht mit althergebrachtem Balladenschmus daher, wie man bei diesen Themen durchaus hätte vermuten können. One Bar Town spielen stattdessen einfach die Songs die: R.E.M., The Cardigans oder Wilco, auch darüber hätten schreiben können!

    One Bar Town haben sich auf ihrem neuen Album nicht nur auf Country, Bluegrass und Rootsrock festgelegt. Ihre Wurzeln verleugnen sie seit ihren ersten Alben 'Power Of Principles' (2001), 'Say Me A Rosary' (2003) und 'Boy Scout Songs' (2004) allerdings nie. So reichen die musikalischen Genres dabei natürlich auch auf 'Steal, Nick & Borrow' von der packenden Ballade ('Why I Don't Drive The Van') über den erdigen Rocksong ('Smallish Victories') bis hin zum Folk-Fetzer ('The MacDonald Route'). Der geradezu poppige Sixtiessound von 'My Suicide Note' erinnert beispielsweise an Szenen aus Robert Altmans Kultfilm 'M*A*S*H' von 1970 und Johnny Mandels genialen Song 'Suicide Is Painless'. Sozusagen großes Kino!

    "Die Band aus dem hohen Norden um den Dänen Kent Nielsen schürft auch auf ihrem vierten Album in den Roots der Staaten, machen mal wieder astreinen Americana-Beat und Straßenkötersongs über Säufer, Junkies und andere Verlierer." Uli Lemke/Blue Rhythm

    "Die Kurbelkasten-Stammband One Bar Town stellt beim Heimspiel ihr neues, viertes Album vor. Man darf sich auf gefühlvolle Balladen, erdige Rocksongs und fetzige Folkstücke mit nachdenklichen Texten freuen." HNA

about

Taken from the album ONE BAR TOWN "Steal, Nick & Borrow", Cat.-No. V.W. 128, Viking Wreckchords.

lyrics

'Del Fuego'

1st Verse
Rediscover beauty in so many things
The view across town from a sunlit apartment
Could it be that I've come home?
Laughing´ at my kitchen with it´s built in shower

2nd Verse
Jamming' with 2 middle-aged Dutch bluegrass pickers
Playing' 'Part Of This Earth' and 'Inside You'
They just smoked one big old giant reefer
Certainly feel that I'm coming home

Chorus
It's been week after week
Month upon month
1 year now and counting
Through the cause of it all
I turned numb and dull
But I´m waking up
Body system's working
Through the cause of it all
