Funny Hill is since over 20 years one of Switzerland's leading country bands. And they carry american heartblood: three bandmembers are truck drivers with a country heart, completed by Gary Tonz (git) and the internationally renown songwriter Ernst Eggenberger, who is also the master behind the Xndless Avenue" productions.
The band has a long story, which did not end so far: they swim against the mainstream from Nashville and step back towards a more country and bluegrass oriented program on this new CD.
Mostly acoustic instrumented, they present a good selection of self-penned titles and some covers that match the right sound of this production, including famous guests like Brent Moyer, Joe Sun and Lana Brown amongst others. It is great to hear the wonderful instrumental parts and the tastefulf harmony vocals besides the often changing main vocal voices by most band members and the guests.
Yes, this is not only, "Funny Hill" anniversary CD to their 20th birthday, it is also their first move into the new millenium. The band will in future set up more acoustic oriented programs and give another touch to their repertoire. Great move, friends!
