Hillbilly Vegas came to play. The Oklahoma-based southern rockers have released their new album ‘A La Mode’ through Quarto Valley Records, and it’s available now on digital, CD, and vinyl.
Self-produced at their home studio, ‘A La Mode’ is 11 tracks of hard-driving rock built on relatable lyrics and the kind of raucous energy the band has become known for. With 7 songs already logged on Billboard’s Rock charts, Hillbilly Vegas arrives at this record with serious momentum behind them.
The album’s focus track is “Miss America”, a hard-charging number powered by chugging guitars, a thunderous rhythm section, and a sustained keyboard line with an earworm chorus. It draws comparisons to the Rolling Stones with a dose of .38 Special, and it earns every one of them.
Steve Harris describes it plainly: “It’s a love song for bad decisions. ‘Miss America’ is what happens when desire wins the argument and reason storms out.” That line tells you everything about where this band lives lyrically.
The album also features “I Hope You Know”, the lead single that reached #12 on Billboard’s Rock charts, and “Let It Ride”, which spent 13 weeks on the chart and climbed to #10. Two charting singles before the full album even drops is a strong statement.
The crown jewel of ‘A La Mode’ is “Mr. Midnight”, written by and featuring Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Paul Rodgers (Bad Company, Free, Queen, The Firm). Geraldo Dominelli (former Loverboy/Paul Rodgers) and Todd Ronning (former Bad Company) are in the lineup, so the connection to Rodgers runs deep.
The band has signed with booking agency TKO, with tour dates being finalized in support of the album. Live shows begin in August.
Hillbilly Vegas has shared stages with Blackberry Smoke, The Kentucky Headhunters, Alabama, Travis Tritt, Blake Shelton, and Wynonna Judd. Their appeal crosses genre lines and their live shows deliver every time. ‘A La Mode’ is out now.
