More Info:

In conjunction with the release of their newest album on July 11th, “Pepper Tree Hill”, The Boxmasters will follow by kicking off a tour of the United States in August. This marks their 19th release as the ever-prolific J.D. Andrew and Bud Thornton showcase their love as always for the sounds of the sixties and the inspiration of their studio on an album called “Pepper Tree Hill.” “Abbey Road was the studio the Beatles recorded their album “Abbey Road” in and are a huge influence on us,” says Bud. “In a way , since our studio is called Pepper Tree Hill , you could say this is our Abbey Road and you can hear odes to our influences the British Invasion including the Beatles, Badfinger, The Kinks etc.” Joining The Boxmasters on the title cut “Pepper Tree Hill” is the legendary trumpeter and bandleader Herb Alpert. “I talked to Herb on the phone and he asked what we were up to and told him we were recording a new album and he said to send him a song. He sent it back right away with an immediately recognizable part that you instantly know is Herb Alpert", says Bud. Also joining on the song “Pepper Tree Hill” is longtime collaborator and Boxmaster alum Brad Davis. “Brad was out at the studio while we were working on another album with him and we thought that “Pepper Tree Hill” would be a great song to have him play guitar on and of course he played an amazing part”, says J.D. Aside from the song “Pepper Tree Hill”, the rest of the album contains all of the familiar sounds of the sixties that The Boxmasters are fond of. Jangly guitars, Mellotrons, and solid backbeats drive the songs about nostalgia, hope, happiness and with the title song “Pepper Tree Hill,” a salute to the creative atmosphere that The Boxmasters thrive in.
