NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Pennsylvania-based, raucous and rowdy indie Southern rock band, Six Gun Sally, will release its twentieth studio recording titled “Backwards.”* Written by Jeff “Ford” Thurston, Natalie Brady, Seth Cook and Six Gun Sally drummer Dave Barbe, the stomp n' holler, clap-along celebrates the beauty of diversity and difference. The boastful, rough-around-the-edges Six Gun Sally signature original will be available on Friday, November 1, 2024 via all digital retail outlets and streaming platforms. (Pre-save/presale event begins Friday, October 18, 2024; distribution by Ed Gertler/Digital Retail Services.)
Produced by Jeff “Ford” Thurston alongside Six Gun Sally drummer, Dave Barbe, the no-holds-barred, pull-no-punches tune stands for the freedom and liberties of living life "Backwards." Lyrics like "Lord knows I got a story to tell" and “We praise Jesus and still raise hell,” vividly enliven the narrative. The unapologetic storyline embraces homegrown country roots where traditions run deep, and the thread between faith and a rebellious spirit is the backbone of a persevering character.
The recording features performances by the seven-piece band spotlighting the prowess Aimee Jane Williams on lead vocals and the seasoned musicianship of Allen Granus (lead guitar), Jeff Yeckel (lead and rhythm guitar), Dan Rach (keys), Stan Brusoski (bass), Billy G (percussion) and Dave Barbe on drums.
"The song is about being perfectly comfortable with being different," said co-writer/co-producer Ford Thurston. "It's about living in the backwoods country, being old school; humble and good-hearted, enjoying the good 'spirit' of a Friday night out and giving thanks at church on Sunday morning."
This release is the launch to the group’s 2024 waterfall series of singles and supports its stout tour season. Performing at festivals, amphitheaters and biker rallies across the country, Six Gun Sally has shared the stage with Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, Marshall Tucker Band and Blackfoot.
