"THE
SAME THING AGAIN Release Date & Summer Tour Announced"
Unreleased
GCS album recorded in the 1970's
CD+DVD Combo Available In Stores & Online June 3rd,
2008
The
Symphony will be on tour this summer and the dates are set
in stone. The band will be hitting the road hard to support
the release of, "The Same Thing Again", a
record recorded in the 1970's but never heard by the public.
It
all started in 1973… Waylon Jennings was involved in
the early recording stages and suggested "Tulsa Turnaround"
to Goose Creek front man Charlie Gearheart. The classic, "Cindy,
Cindy", and Randall Bramlett's "Mary" were
recorded along with "Tulsa" before the sessions
in music city came to an end. The band finished up the additional
recording in various studios in Seattle. After other recording
projects surfaced, and general strains from the music business
forced the band to take a break, these sessions were forgotten.
Fast
forward to the year 2007. As the band began to see an amazing
spike in popularity, they accidentally stumbled upon an old
set of tapes. Those tapes were the Nashville and Seattle recording
sessions that had long been forgotten. So, after a year of
working with the audio, the record is finally being released
on the band's very own Bo Records. "The Same Thing Again"
showcases why Goose Creek has been frequently considered the
most diverse rock band to come out of the 1970's. Hard hittin'
rockers mixed with gorgeous ballads… funky guitars, and perfectly
played cellos. In a time where almost every new record today
sounds overly slick and digital in production, "The Same Thing
Again", is as refreshingly warm as it gets. Thirty-five years
after the first notes were struck in a Nashville studio, the
magical music that was made will be heard by the fans for
the very first time.
The
release will be available in stores and online starting June
3rd. The Goose Creek Symphony Summer Tour begins in
Cleveland, TN on May 30th.
The
dates have been set for the 13th annual Goosehead gathering
in western KY, "Goose on the Lake". This
year is shaping up to be the most special year since the show's
creation. On Friday, June 6th, the 1970's touring band
will be reuniting for the first time in many years. Pearl,
Flyin' Fred, Charlie, Dennis, Willard, and Froggy
will take the stage to re-create the sounds that made the
band famous for such high energy concerts and unique albums
in the early days of the band.
Opening
the show that evening will be roots rocker, Webb Wilder.
Saturday, June 7th, will see the return of Barefoot Jerry
to the concert stage. Todd Snider is set to play before
the latest incarnation of GCS on Saturday night. This is certainly
an event that fans simply do not want to miss out on.

"Head
for the Hills: Special Edition"
Release
Date TBA
Bo
Records is proud to announce the release of "Head for the Hills: Special
Edition". The brand new reissue of this classic Goose Creek album includes
all new packaging, remastered sound, and new artwork by Chris Kro! The special
edition also includes a bonus track never before released on cd!
The
original record was recorded in 1975 and has never received proper distribution
in stores in any format since that time. The album speaks volumes for the state
of mind frontman Charlie Gearheart and the band were in after bad splits from
both Capitol & Columbia Records.
"Workin'
for the Devil" is a song originally from the sessions that appeared on
the limited run of LP's printed. When the cd version was made for the band's live
shows and web site, the track was left off.
A
release date has not been set but the cd is expected to be
released in the fall. The cd will be available in stores,
online, and here in the Company Store.
