In December of 2020, The Wild Feathers hauled off to a pre-civil war built cabin in VanLeer, TN where the ideas and songs from Alvarado met for the very first time. In the past, the band typically liked to collect all the tunes they've written over the past year, brainstorm, conceptualize, and rehearse isolated in a cabin before heading into the studio. This time for their 4th studio album, they decided to bring the studio to the cabin. The guys spent a week jamming and creating while having the ability to capture the performances while they were fresh. Produced by the band, Alvarado is the truest representation of The Wild Feathers to date. No outside musicians, no outside opinions, just us playing our new songs in a room with the best mics we could find.

We would like to thank our friends and families for their undying support and love throughout the life of the band, especially this last year. To our wives, you continue to be a constant source of strength. We know that dealing with this music lifestyle is not always easy yet somehow you manage to make everything possible, and that never ceases to amaze us. So to Haylee, Heather, Claudia, Rachel, and Mina, thank you for showing us what true love and support really means. To our business family, Lillian Williams, Tiffany Wiggers and everyone at O’Neil Hagaman, thank you for always having our backs through the highs and lows. We don’t know what we would do without you. Also, to Dawson Morris, CJ Strock, and Ken Abdo, thank you for being there for us at just the right time.
Just a warm, easy listen. The love for the songs is apparent. Takes me back to days spent working on my car in the driveway in SoCal. Hope they do another one cause I'm gonna wear this on out. Aloha beauishere
The best I've heard from Steve Earle in a while. The songs have a subtler, earthier tone, tastefully rendered in authentic sounding country/blues/bluegrass stylings. 'J.T' reminds of earlier records like 'Feel Alright' or 'Train a Comin'.
Deep grief, love and compassion is felt on the final track, the only composition from Steve, seemingly written for his son. The rest, composed by JT, do confirm what a great songwriter he really was. tideracer
Released in 2001, “The Convincer” is a gentle gem in the Nick Lowe catalog; an anniversary edition provides opportunity for rediscovery. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 20, 2021
