Don’t be fooled by the familiar sounds of past versions of the Greg Cougar Conley experience; this here Greg Cougar Conley has been a member of the Minnesota Association of Country Music Recording Artists and has exemplified the sound of upper-Midwest country music for decades. Loud, electric and surprisingly didactic, Conley and his outsized band filled with Hog Damage all-stars have been slaying stages and showing banjoists and dirty jug-band hobos alike what it means to play outlaw country with meaning. The supporting cast of musicians features Brett Molitor, Bryon Gaynor, Jake Larson, Mat Milinkovich, Dan Anderson and Jesse Luoma.
