What people are saying about the Dalhart Imperials...

Take Country Back (www.takecountryback.com):

"Judging by Finally! and the way the band impressively and effortlessly tears their way through their unique mix of classic style traditional country, it's no wonder that Westword Magazine named The Dalhart Imperials the "Best Country Act" four times." "If you're a country music fan...then The Dalhart Imperials and Finally! definitely belong in your music collection."

Westword Magazine (Denver, CO):

"From the first listen through the 1,000th spin, Finally is finger-lickin' good!" "Best Country Band" 1996, 1997, 2002, 2003

Rocky Mountain News (Denver, CO):

"Top Country Act" 2003 (Top of the Rocky Award)

No Depression (USA):

"Music can be approached from many vantage points – from academic pursuit to intoxicant-fueled rave-up. The Dalhart Imperials are capable of entertaining those who come to them from either end, and points in between.”

Southern & Rocking Magazine (England):

"...one of the top rocking bands in the States."

Continental Restyling (England):

"The Dalhart Imperials are a western swing band of the first rank..."

Discoweb (Italy):

"Tutti i dischi di THE DALHART IMPERIALS adesso disponibili in DiscoWeb!"

Pandora (Holland):

"Nummers als “The Bottle Will Hold Me”, “Dear Darlin’”, “Not Gonna Lay Down”, “Pardon Me If I Cry” en “Slave In My Castle” maken van “Finally!” één van de leukste platen die ons dit jaar al bereikten! ***** (five stars)"

True West:

“These guys know how to raise the roof! Finally is appropriately titled, since their first full-length album features a traditional country sound missing from so many of today’s top-40 so-called “country” acts.”

Blue Suede News:

“These six talented musicians are the perfect Honky Tonk Troubadors. All songs are really really good, a honky tonk and western swing melange perfect for swing dancing, two stepping or pure listening pleasure. What else could you ask for? The Dalhart Imperials simply have it all, a great dynamic and authentic sound and a fantastic selection of fine songs.”

Rocky Mountain News:

On the new CD Finally, singer Les Cooper, steel guitarist Tim Whitlock and friends crank out a corn-fed fusion of Western swing cool and honky-tonk heat that could hold its own at any roadhouse.
