Purple Sunset Let's Build A Fire CD

Two of the band's founding members, Ted Putbress and Glenn Folworski, experienced the 70's and all that rock and roll had to offer. Fresh and varied sounds. From Aerosmith to Neil Diamond. Pink Floyd to The Doors. Blues, R & B and jazz all influenced what was being played. It was a vibrant time when bands formed and failed and re-formed again. It was no different for Ted and Glenn. They played together. They played apart. They kept in touch.

Fast forward to the year 2000. Life is good. For Ted, success has come in the form of the Financial Services industry. Now, a well earned vacation to Mexico triggers a desire to make music a part of his life again. Sitting in the terra cotta courtyard of his wife's ancestral home, Ted picks up his guitar and begins to play. That's all it took.

Not long after returning home, Ted was looked into the latest music technologies and was immediately blown away by the innovations in musical design. The possibilities exploded in his mind. The passion was back, and now the money was there with a business background to back it up. The concept was born: a band with a sound and purpose rooted in the 70's & 80's but with today's technologies transforming and recreating it in a fresh new way. Re-enter Glenn. Jazzed by all Ted envisioned, Glenn couldn't sleep for weeks. Neither one has slept much since.

Acclaimed by the likes of James Lavelle, Massive Attack, Mr Scruff and John Peel, Bristol's Venue magazine described this as "the most impressive dance album of the year", whilst The Wire called it "a triumph of DIY ethics".

Jerry and I would often go to lunch when I was in town and he liked to talk about Hank and their road trips. After a little while I realized I had found two very good and honest friends. Hard to find in Nashville. I later met Hillous Butrum and Bob McNett who were equally honest and friendly. These four men were Hank Williams DRIFTING COWBOY BAND. Hank had many band members over the years, but Jerry, Don, Hillous and Bob were with him from 1949 untill Hanks untimey death in early 1953. This was the time period that Hank and the COWBOYS are most remembered for. After Hank died, the band worked with various artists and dis-banded.

In 1977, the BAND re-formed and continued their style of music- the same music that they created for Hank. They soon found out that they were still in demand. I was very lucky to get the entire band to help me with this album.

' As members of the Grand Ole Opry for fifteen years, Jim Glaser and his brothers (Tompall and Chuck) not only paved the way for modern Country Music groups but also won virtually every group award Country Music had to offer. In 1970 they were named 'Vocal Group of the Year,' by the Country Music Association. Billboard Magazine named them the most awarded Country group of the time.

Glaser was much in demand as a background singer and did countless sessions with the Jordanaires, the Anita Kerr Singers, The Nashville Edition, etc. He sang tenor with many artists including such varied artists as Wayne Newton, Jon Schneider, Bobby Lord, Charley Pride, to name just a few.
