Today\u2019s review features the band Dinosaur Stampede and their new album \u201cBig Sigh Country.\u201d Right off, the band\u2019s name makes me think it\u2019s a group of \u201cold guys playing country.\u201d And I say that lovingly, because usually a group of \u201cold guys playing country\u201d is pretty damn good. So can\u2019t wait to hear what collection of new tunes these guys have come up with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dinosaur Stampede are: Dinosaur Stampede returns with their long-awaited second album, Big Sigh Country,<\/strong> co-produced by Sim Cain and New Jersey guitar legend Keith Kenny, who graces the album with his inspired and transcendent guitar work and backing vocals throughout, and was a creative and engineering force driving the project forward. Keith Hartel shifts from bass to provide some of the finest lead guitar work of his illustrious career (as well as background vocals, keyboards, and lead vocals on the new song \u201cPLEAS”). Playing drums and co-producing the project, SIM CAIN brings his world-renowned knowledge, talent, and professionalism. The new album includes 8 original songs written by Packy Thompson and is set for release this fall. The band will be performing the new album in its entirety on November 1, 2025, at Randy Now’s Man Cave in Hightstown, NJ, USA.
