DOUG MORELAND STANDS OUT, SPEAKS UP WITH NEW RELEASE
Record Breaks Modern Rules, Promotes Outdated Thinking
Austin, Texas -- December 28, 2011 -- Songwriter and artist Doug Moreland releases a single from his forth-coming, long-awaited album The Flying Armadillos. Titled Stand, available via digital download online, the single encourages personal responsibilities and mature thought, a foremost subject in today’s culture according to Moreland.
Like his 2009 project Barnstormer, Moreland recorded the album in his woodwork shop and art gallery. For The Flying Armadillos, a vintage reel-to-reel tape machine initially captured the sounds, before being digitally mastered by Grant Wilborn, who engineered both projects. Moreland and his 2 band members collaborated on all parts of the recording, along with James Gwynn on drums and Kevin Garringer on harmonica.
Moreland named the album after his band The Flying Armadillos, comprised of himself on fiddle and guitar, Rob Harding on guitar, and Randy Roberts on the upright bass fiddle. All members covered vocals, including dynamic 3-part harmonies. All songs on the album were written by Doug Moreland, except two co-written with the late Billy Applegate, and one written by Rob Harding.
Moreland states that the songs on the album vary from biscuits to politics. In other words, he includes his typical light-hearted swing, with his usual variance of dance-hall shuffles, some with a charged message. The complete album releases late January 2012.
