#1 not 2 not 3 not 4, #1!!!

“Bad Things” is officially the #1 iTunes “country” song in the UK. Also, #3 in Ireland, #8 in Finland and kind of a big deal in Spain!

I smell a EuroTrash tour on the horizon!

    Contrats…I can’t believe its not #1 in the US but i’m working on that. I bought “Bad Things” on iTunes then decided I wanted the entire album so now I have it on my iPod twice :o ) You have to play in D/FW soon, very soon. Please. xoxo

    Wow, it’s awesome to see that people all over recognize how great your music is. I’m especially excited to read that you’re considering coming to Europe. I live in the southwest of Germany but I guess I’ll manage to be there somehow even if you don’t happen to tour anywhere near my area ;)

    Anyway, I’m waiting and in the meantime will continue spreading the word as I’ve done since pre-ordering Red Revelations – which btw got stuck in German customs for over a week, I wonder what they thought I was trying to smuggle into the country ;)

    Viele Grüße,
    Nina

    Number 1 in the UK? – well it just goes to show that we have good taste over here, LOL
    We might not have the “roots” of blues and country as you guys have in the US, but we sure know a good foot-tapping, drumming-on-your-steering-wheel, singing-your-head-off-in-the-shower tune when we hear it!
    True Blood Season 1 has recently started airing on FX on Sky over here, and Bad Things is just such a cool song – and so fitting for the show! I was humming it for days, drove me nuts until I just HAD to go download your ONBB album! Which then led to Red Revelations and also your 1st album!
    So now you know you obviously DO have a UK fanbase – when ARE you coming over here for a tour? Please make a stop at the M.E.N. Arena in Manchester

    I live in Nashville, but I’m not a country music fan, but I love and bought your lp on itunes. Your sound is like old country when musicians really sang, wrote and played they’re own instruments. Please come play the Ryman!

    Okay – Follow up on my last comment – you now have about another dozen or so fans over here!
    As I said I’ve bought all 3 of your albums now and have been playing them all non stop in the car, the kitchen, at work, on my Mp3 and singing along at the gym! People keep asking me what I’m listening to, so I tell them who you are. I even had you playing in the background whle the insurance man was here and he’s now a fan too!
    My best friend Rod, has downloaded RR from itunes as well and he’s been playing it in his car and the other day his 8 year old, Ben, came in as I was playing “One Of Them” and started singing “I think I’m one of them..” and playing air guitar along with it too! HOW CUTE!!
    So I’ll keep spreading the word and I hope you’ll think to make a stop at Bolton (or at least Manchester) on your next visit.
    TTFN

    So happy to hear RR has hit #1 here in the UK. True Blood has been very popular on FX and it’s helping everyone to discover you. I have all three of your albums now. Please please please come and tour here again. Wherever you play, I’m there!

    Come to England I want to see you play live. We are seeing
    Chuck Prophet at Winchester, England in September. You could come
    and play there! I love red relevations.

    Great to see some modern country getting a bit of recognition as there are some great acts like Iron & Wine, Wilco and now YOU!! It’s amazing how a happy sounding tune like Bad Things can seem so creepy with a bit of good cinematography added to it. If you do do a UK tour please don’t forget Belfast.

    Put me down for a ticket for the official eurotrash tour! Not got red revelations yet but I play old new borrowed blues constantly, was so excited to hear bad things while randomly flicking through the radio, though I prefer the album version. Really hope a northern england gig is in the offing, come to Hull, it’s never dull in Hull!
