JOHN SURGE & THE HAYMAKERS MAYBE YOU DON ' T KNOW ME
The third John Surge and the Haymakers release is a 5-song EP . Recorded in Texas like his previous album , Almost Time , the songs feature rich roots embellishments . Sure , there ' s blistering guitar and pedal steel , but there ' s also out front fiddle , harmonica , and accordion . " It ’ s five shots , some straight up , some on the rocks ,” says Surge . “ These five songs represent a real cross section of the music we make .”
The critics agree :
" With exuberance and enthusiasm , Surge and company come across as the ultimate roots rock combo . Hooks , harmonies , joy and jangle are imbued in each entry , resulting in songs that ring with the honesty and independence culled from California West Coast tradition .” - Goldmine
“ Surge has made an album that fits like a pair of well-worn jeans and feels like the right side of retro country , but also has an eye to the future and perfects his own personal vision of the music that came from the likes of the Palomino Club in its heyday in L . A . Seems like it ’ s almost time to listen again and make some hay in its audio sunshine ." - Stephen Rapid , Lonesome Highway
Now John Surge and the Haymakers have brought back a golden oldie - John Stewart ' s top ten hit " Gold " from back in 1979 !
