DESCRIPTION
Saddlesores are a band of southwestern roots-rock renegades who've been together for fourteen years, hammering out their own unique brand of outlaw rockin' twang. With real country stylings played through a true rock-n-roll heart, the Sores are nothing short of brilliant earning them a loyal following of bikers, musicians, and other discerning citizens.
Their live shows are legendary reminiscent of the Stones, Hank Williams, and the Replacements. Recorded or live, the Sores are a band not to be missed. |

REVIEWS
"Our favorite Albuquerque-based Americana band, the Saddlesores have been barraging the Duke City for more than a decade with a high-energy Stones-meets-alt country brand of twangy roots rock. Very much steeped in the American South (various members have roots in South Carolina, Alabama, and Texas), the band focuses on craftsmanship, storytelling, and humor, and their often over-the-top live shows have made them favorites throughout New Mexico. "After ten drummers, four bassists, and countless sidemen, we are still very much alive," quips charismatic front man Cole Mitchell, as festivarians will see when the band takes the stage Sunday afternoon."

"You hear the words 'ahead of their time' a lot in the music business but in the case of locals The Saddlesores, it's true...If you go check out the Saddlesores.. Don't expect Brooks and Dunn. If the group's latest CD is any indication, the group is much more Nirvana than Nashville..."
- The Venue, Albuquerque Journal
"Whether you want to call it rock'n'roll with a twang or country with an edge, "Beating a Dead House", from Saddlesores, is the best records of its kind in quite a while. The one thing the 'sores have that most alt.country bands don't is a sense of humor. The band is also tight as a miser on tax day. This 15-song collection proves that its possible to rock in cowboy boots so long as you don't take yourself too seriously..."
- Kenn Rodriguez Albuquerque Journal
"Saddlesores follow the country tradition of song writing that paints pictures of trailer parks, cheating wives and sick, old hound dogs with drooping ears...'Don't give me no fancy funeral, one that I can't afford/Make the pick-up truck be a Chevy not a Ford/To my cousin Ed, the horse of course and the kids get everything/To my wife nothing flat 'cause that's how she left me' sings Cole Mitchell on "Me and Raul Julia Down By the Graveyard..."
