Hacienda Brothers Soph

Conqueroo reports: With last year's self-titled debut album, the Hacienda Brothers � the band led by singers/songwriters Chris Gaffney and Dave Gonzalez � won accolades for melding stone country and old-school R&B, a mix that has been described as "Western soul." The soul derived not only from Gonzalez's and Gaffney's deep R&B influences, but also from the enlistment of legendary writer/producer Dan Penn. A honky-tonk influence, along with the recording of the album in the mountains and deserts of Tucson, provided the Western feel.

The band and Penn began to find their collective voice with last year's debut, which charted Top Ten on the R&R Americana Airplay chart. The new album, titled What's Wrong With Right � also helmed by Penn � kicks the collaboration into an even higher gear. The album, the Haciendas' first for Proper American Recordings, is slated for June 27 release.[see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
