Starline Rhythm Boys

Burlington, VT's Starline Rhythm Boys play a hearty mixture of classic country, bluegrass, and vintage rock & roll. The group released its debut album, Better Luck Is a Barroom Away, in November of 2000. Sean Mencher of the rockabilly band High Noon produced the effort, which featured six originals by Starline upright bassist Billy Bratcher (who has toured with Wayne Hancock) and a handful of originals by the likes of Don Gibson, Johnny Paycheck, and Lattie Moore, among others. The alt-country journal No Depression has compared the album's warm sound to that of George Jones' star-filled, traditionalist-minded Bradley Barn Sessions. The Starline Rhythm Boys also includes lead vocalist/guitarist Danny Coane and guitarist/vocalist Al Lemery. ~ Erik Hage, Rovi
