Artist History The Dirty Truckers got together in 1999 when Tom Baker and his former Nana band mates regrouped to pursue a decidedly American rock n’ roots direction. The result is the debut CD, Bush League Romance. Released on their own label, Diorama Records, Bush League Romance was cut over a few months and a few cold beers at Woolly Mammoth studios in Boston, MA, with Dave Minehan (The Neighborhoods) at the helm. Drawing on kick-ass influences such as Cheap Trick, Steve Earle and Soul Asylum, the Dirty Truckers rock hard and have a good time doing it. According to Boston Soundcheck Magazine, “the band’s sound is a mixture of ‘80s Rolling Stones as led by Keith and Ron’s two-guitar assault and f*ck you sonic attitude”. Miles of Music (www.milesofmusic.com) was lost in “the aroma of beer, the haze of cigarette smoke and the roar of punchy guitar”. Bush League Romance, whose core members include Baker (vox, guitar), Roland Smith (bass, vox) and Jim Delios (drums, vox) was recorded in a loose, leave the mistakes in, kind of way – the way any good bar band would do it. Helping fill out the sound were guitar slingers Minehan, Jim Buni (Buttercup) and Andy Pastore (Charlie Chesterman and his Legendary Motorbikes). The result, as summed up by Freight Train Boogie (www.freighttrainboogie.com), is that “the songs are good and anyone liking rowdy fall-down-drunk Midwestern bar rock will just love this!”.
