Happy New
Year from Eleven Hundred Springs! The band
would like to thank their friends, family, and
fans for a great 2007!
After 9
years, 6 albums, & over a million miles
traveled, the little country band from the Big D
has racked up critical acclaim from fans, radio,
& media across the Lone Star State & around the
globe.
Led by singer / lead guitarist Matt Hillyer &
his best friend & band mate since high school,
bassist Steve Berg, the band is now embarking on
their 10 Year Anniversary and their sophomore
release for Tennessee based Fontana / Universal
distributed indie, Palo Duro Records.
The new album, Eleven Hundred Springs' Country
Jam, is rife with expectations for the group,
having put out their last studio effort over 4
years ago, the band enlisted Grammy winner Lloyd
Maines to recreate that same magic that won
grammy gold in 2003 for another country band
from Dallas, the Dixie Chicks.
With 12 new songs, 9 written by Matt Hillyer,
the record highlights Hillyer's unique, soulful
vocals and his innate lyrical ability to craft
the perfect country & western song. A
variable mixture (ie: jam) of song styles, the
album showcases the band's country
influences and their depth at rockin' it with a
genuine outlaw edge. With an all star
lineup rounding out the band, including Berg,
platinum rocker Mark Reznicek on drums, 3rd
generation fiddler Jordan Hendrix, and with the
high & lonesome sounds of Danny Crelin on
pedal steel, the band is making the best music
of Eleven Hundred Springs' 10 year career.
