		Rattlesnake Law: US release through Hayden's Ferry. With the steady success of Americana Roots Rock music and its effect on American culture, it is inevitable that we hear the echoes of that music back to us from Europe.
Sometimes the reflection is so authentic, it can even be a better representation of domestic faire. Such is the case with the Norwegian band, The Scarecrows. This five-piece band prowls the border between rock & roll and classic country rock with an authoratative badge and justified pride. They successfully pull off a "Western Desert" sound from the icy regions of Northern Europe. With three guitarists (in studio they are even joined by steel guitarist Kjell Karlsen) The Scarecrows sometimes have a guitar attack comparable to the southern bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd and Outlaws. Along with previous independent releases that have found their way into the Americana fanbase, their first Hayden's Ferry release will please their captured fans and will also round up new ones as well.
