Hillbilly Vegas Release A LA MODE Album, to Open for Blue Oyster Cult in August
The Oklahoma band's self-produced LP features Paul Rodgers on the track Mr. Midnight.
Hillbilly Vegas have released their new album 'A La Mode'. Known for their relatable lyrics and raucous live shows, this latest LP showcases a band firing on all cylinders as their career continues to grow. The LP was self-produced at their home studio in Oklahoma and is available in digital, CD and Vinyl formats through Quarto Valley Records. The band has just announced new tour dates.
The album focus track is the hard-driving 'Miss America'. The song delves into the seeming inevitability of troubles and strife when the fire of wanting someone overcomes rational thought. The band's Steve Harris explains 'It's a love song for bad decisions. 'Miss America' is what happens when desire wins the argument and reason storms out'. The song is buoyed by chugging guitars, a thunderous rhythm section, and a sustained keyboard line with an earworm chorus that evokes the Rolling Stones, mixed with a dose of .38 Special for good measure.
