The Far West: L.A.’s Best Country Band

The Far West is an alternative-country band from Los Angeles, California, comprised of musicians Lee Briante , Robert Black , Erik Kristiansen and Tony Sanborn . The band’s 2011 debut album, The Far West , has made an impact on the L.A. country charts and is garnering the attention of music critics in America and overseas with its straight-forward Americana appeal. Californiality is categorically labeling The Far West as “the best L.A. country music act of 2011,” and here’s why: The Far West takes country music where it should be by now in 2011 – technically pure, slightly jaded, no-nonsense and honest with stellar storytelling for the every-man. The songwriting, musicianship and production quality on The Far West album is superb, so nothing more needs to be said.
