Twangville previews The Knockdown Dragout's self-titled debut

ALBUM PREVIEW

"I’m really not sure how many musicians make up The Knockdown Dragout but it’s clearly a large number."

Good question, Twangville! Let me provide the answer: 296 musicians. It's a fun fact, and a scary fact!

Many thanks for coming in with the heat on what's hot in early 2024, including Chris J Norwood & The Knockdown Dragout, "a debut that is chock full of music that hearkens back to 1970’s R&B soul and R&B, replete with plenty of horns and a string section."

Album arrives February 9! WATCH + LISTEN + PRE-ORDER + GET TIX!
