music, BACKSLIDERS - (Dom Turner, Jim Conway & Rob Hirst) will release thei=
r
8th album, Hanoi, on August 12, 2002 through Shock Records.  The album is b=

far their finest to date, both lyrically & musically and pushes the
boundaries of original acoustic-electric music to new limits.

and newest band-member, Rob Hirst.  Harmonica virtuoso, Jim Conway paired
with Tim Gaze to pen the tremolo - soaked 'Son of the Father'.

Australian & Asian themes, combined with consistently innovative production=
,
again pushes the music to an ever widening audience.

'The Church of Never Find Out', 'Thinkin' Man's Drinkin' Man', 'Black Top
Road' (featuring a narration by Virginia bluesman, John Jackson), 'Son of
the Father', "Clinging to my Culture, 'Train Wreck', "Black Wind', 'I Call
Your Name', "You Got To Move', "Rest of Night'.

"The band is about discovery and doing something different within the genre
we love.  Renewed enthusiasm has spawned a sound more 'us' than ever
before."  DOM TURNER
=20
"On this album, we set out to develop and incorporate new influences but at
the same time remain true to our blues roots."  JIM CONWAY
=20
"This is a blues record with punch - melodies that stick in your head and
the fat trimmed off."  ROB HIRST
=20
"It's (Hanoi) a hi-fi experience in the true sense - not just sonically but
naturally"  DON BARTLEY - Studio 301
