"The BossHoss return to their origins in celebration - a nod to their hometown"
The Berlin-based band The BossHoss is set to release their anniversary album, "Back to the Boots," on Friday, marking two decades since their debut album. This new release is a return to their roots, featuring pure country rock with twenty years of experience.
The album includes a humorous number, "German Angst," which takes aim at German clichés such as planning obsession and caution. Another notable track is a rocky version of Willie Nelson's famous country song "On the Road Again." However, a much-anticipated cover of the Johnny Cash classic "Ring of Fire" was not included due to its cowboy boot numbers being too big.
The band's love for the USA is evident throughout the album, even amidst the second term of US President Donald Trump. This affection is further demonstrated by the inclusion of R&B legend Dionne Warwick's voice in a new version of her hit "What the World Needs Now Is Love."
Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger also lends his voice to the album, speaking his famous "Terminator" line, "I'll be back," for a song. Alec Völkel and Sascha Vollmer, the band's founding members, share this sentiment, stating that from their perspective, America itself remains great.
The BossHoss first gained popularity through self-burned CDs copied and distributed by friends. Their music became known to a wider audience through their stint as judges on the German casting format "The Voice." However, their origins can be traced back to a bar in Berlin, where the idea for the band initially started as a private project.
The band will tour through German clubs from late September, feeling close to their fans again with their new album "Back to the Boots." Sascha Vollmer has stated that this tour aims to recreate the intimate connection with their fans, just like in the early years.
The song "Lunch" stands out on the album as a lascivious number, while "German Angst" takes aim at German clichés. Despite the humour, the band remains committed to their direct, loud, and unadulterated music for their fans.
As The BossHoss continues to tour and release new music, their unique sound, handcrafted in Germany but inspired by America, is sure to captivate audiences for years to come.
