CD IN STOCK. ORDER NOW. Will ship immediately.
Could be alt.country, could be country rock, certainly is damn fine music. Centered around the pedal steel, mandolin, guitars and keyboards, listening to TFOF is like listening to GP, the Burritos or early Eagles.

notes
Two Fingers Of Firewater are a young five-piece alt-country/Americana band from South East UK, playing original music centred around the sound of the pedal steel/mandolin, acoustic guitar and keyboards/accordion.
The winter of 2007 was spent in the appropriately named “Chiller” unit of a local strawberry farm rehearsing and recording eleven original numbers which make up the band’s debut album, as well as the traditional bluegrass song 'Satan, Your Kingdom Must Come Down' included by Uncle Tupelo in their classic release 16-20 March, 1992.
Tunes include 'Endless Highway', a slice of early 70’s country rock so authentic you’d swear you’d heard it performed by the Byrds on Sweetheart Of The Rodeo; 'The Night Ends' is a jangly guitar-driven account of another hazy night in the pool-hall while 'South Bank Girl', features duelling Fender Rhodes and distorted steel guitar.
Two Fingers of Firewater was formed in 2005 by founding band members Jon Clake (acoustic/electric guitars and vocals), Tom Harding (bass) and Alex Chappelow (pedal steel/guitar/mandolin). The original line-up changed significantly in mid-2007 with the addition of Stephen Price (keyboards) and James Sacha (drums).

Superb
author: Philip EdmondsonThis band has something for anyone who loves their alt.country themes. If, like myself, you are on the look out for great melodies and some wicked pedal steel/guitar solos, then this collection of songs is also for you. Genuinely exciting moments are littered throughout: The ripping pedal steel of 'South Bank Girl', the subtle meloncholy melody of 'Lonely (And the Rest)' or the riveting driving guitars and rhythm section on 'The End'. However, this is not one of those albums that has just the odd flash of excitement. Pretty much every song is as memorable and multi dimensional as it is accessible and enjoyable on the first listen. I have had the cd for weeks now and have no plans to remove it from the stereo anytime soon. A definite thumbs up for this brilliant debut.
