Press Quotes:
:,,,,,,Seattle's own Country Lips pay homage to that proud tradition, cranking out debauched ballads with slurred-speech choruses that would make Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard proud. The eight-piece band has a reputation for rowdiness (as should any roots country revivalists worth their weight in Jack Daniels)" Keegan Hamilton, Seattle Weekly

"Swamped in pedal steel, country guitar and piano Seattle-based eight-piece Country Lips bring energy and authenticity to the table, huge thanksgiving dinner helpings they are too. Some tunes may be a quirkier than you expect, but it only adds to the fun as one bright and breezy tune is stacked on top of the next.

Maurice Hope, Flyingshoes Review, January 2017 (link)

Party country from the Pacific Northwest, this is the real country music. An eight-piece honky-tonk band with a focus on the hard-edged, hook-laden, close-harmony country sound of the west coast.
