Big Fancy & the Shiddy Cowboys

Crushing Weight of Bad Mistakes   Digital album

(Self-issued)




Intermingling with tanned mugs split by 'boy howdy' grins are lyrical whimsicality and steel-guitared Honky-Tonk goodness you can set your scratched-glass Bulova by. Everybody's cuttin' jigs.

"Well folks, here it is," wrote Big Fancy/Blake Bamford, in a Facebook post. "Our unrequited love letter to our favourite Country artists from the past. The B-siders, Losers and Honky Tonk hangers-on who would go into a studio and pay for the privilege to record a track and have 100 copies printed for them to chase down the idea that they too could be an Opry star."

Recommended: "Man In the Barroom," "The Devil Is a Hard Man (to Work For)," "Trouble's Only Trouble," "Long Hard History," "Keep It Hid," "Butthurt," "Look Who's Laughing Now," "The World Keeps On Spinning"

Videos: "Man In the Barroom" (live, Big Fancy w/Fiddlin' Sam)   "Long Hard History"   "Look Who's Laughing Now"
