No More Long Goodbyes

Great Pop Hooks - a debut that will make you want to see them play live:

A sparky and stylish slice of UK country-rock, full of urgency and passion

A great British sound, laid back and musically excellent

A slice of dangerous unforgiving country. For those that never look back

About the Blue Hearts The Blue Hearts founder members, Bob Powell and Mark Horse started in 1988 playing a diverse collection of covers including material by Muddy Waters and Dwight Yoakam. They quickly expanded the line up to include Fiddle, Double Bass, Drums and Pedal Steel and concentrated on developing the Blue Hearts as an indie/pop/country concept with their own original songs. 'The Doors' 'Tom Waits' and 'Nick Lowe' are included in the band's influences as well as 'Johnny Cash' & 'Nick Cave'. This has defined a new sound for the band so that no matter what the song is, it will always sound like the Blue Hearts.

The band's debut album 'Lullaby for the Lost' received great reviews in the mainstream and country press and it generated extensive airplay on local and national radio both in the UK and Europe.

They were invited to the launch of CMT in London and to BBC events that promoted the new country sound.

Since then the Blue Hearts music has been played throughout the world, from Australia to the USA and Europe. They have achieved chart success in Nashville. Their last single 'Everyone Wants to Dance With My Girl' was 'A' play listed on the UK's premier Radio Station, Country 1035.

The band were also the only British band featured on BBC1's Country Night.
