Crossing Keys "About Time"
February 19, 2012
Crossing Keys was formed in 1994, based on a mutual love to modern country-rock, in the style of Eagles, Little Texas, Vince Gill and similar artists.
Efforts to record their debut album began in autumn of 2008 and continued at regular intervals during 2009 and 2010. In addition to studio work, the band has continued to develop as a live band, and as such has a little tougher sound.
"Perhaps it is our problem", the band says, "we are a little too tough for those who want traditional country music, while we haven't got a chance to get into other scenes, because we're still considered too country".
When Crossing Keys won the Swedish Country Championships in 2008, the guys got proof that they were on the right track, and it was then that they decided to start recording an album.
"But we decided from the start that we would take our time and not rush out an album. Better let it take a while and get a really good result", the band says.
Periodically the band lived in the studio and recorded the album, song by song. Now, about two and a half years later, the album is finished. .....and, as they say, it's about time!
