The Rockingbirds

The Rockingbirds exploded out of Camden Town in the early nineties and wrote the book for credible UK country music. They released their groundbreaking self titled debut album through Heavenly Recordings on Columbia in 1992. Alan Tyler's genius song writing married the Cosmic American Music of Gram Parsons with wry English kitchen sink observation. The Rockingbirds debut has since become a landmark release and a touch stone for the UK alt country scene that developed in its wake.

The Rockingbirds re-formed in 2009 having spent 16 years apart and played a string of dates including Glastonbury Festival. The news created such a huge amount of press and public interest the shows sold out in minutes! There was such an overwhelming flood of support and love for the band that Sony re-released their debut record for first time since its initial release.
