After five single releases and a successful collaboration with BBC Radio 1 John Peel's favourite Pyschobilly band "The Pocket Gods" on their ground breaking 100x30 project, the alternative country artists Heywood and Moore's releases their first album 'Goodbye Yesterday' which is a collection of their own songs and a few interpretations. One is an upbeat cover of Patsy Cline's first big chart hit and shows their strong respect for the classics combined with a new, more rocky, approach to the music.
The sound of Anglo-Australian country artists - Dawn Moore and Brian Heywood - combines the storytelling of traditional country and the power of edgy roots rock instrumentation - a sound that is a tight amalgam of raunchy guitar driven roots music and rich vocal harmonies that bridges the gap between country and rock. The duo's songwriting and performances also bring a fresh approach to the 'Country Scene' which appeals to a wider audience. The album features the members of their regular backing band (Hoedown Band) along with guest players from the UK and Australia.
Anglo-Australian duo Dawn Moore and Brian Heywood are also making quite a splash in Australia, as Their first single from the album has gone straight into the Australian Country Tracks Top 40, and they were nominated for a prestigious ICMA award for the "Most Popular Independent Duo" category.
