Boss Caine

"Stunning UK talent!!...Really Something!!" - Bob Harris BBC Radio 2 "Certainly amongst the best of the British takes on American roots music" - FlyinShoes.ning.com "Pretty much flawless!" Soundsphere Magazine "Great stuff" - Arlo Guthrie "Dylan-esque angst ridden lyrics played with raw brash style" - BBC North Yorkshire "My newest crush is Boss Caine, with milky-blue-eyed Daniel Lucas’ womb-scrapingly gravelly vocals ....I bloody hung on every word as i would Joan Baez and Bob Dylan" - Folkingcool.co.uk "An exceptional debut" - Backroadsmusic.co.uk "Great singing, great playing, great songs. They'll go far" - Sam Baker "Lucas is in possession of a heartbreaking baritone which he puts to good use here" - R2 Rock'n'Reel Magazine "Tom Waits singing Ryan Adams if they had both had the good fortune to grow up in Yorkshire" -The Fly "The real deal! They will rip your heart out and toss it back to you many songs later doused in whiskey, soul and more emotions than you know how to handle!" - Northern Music "...the best album Tom Waits, Ryan Adams & Johnny Cash ever didn't make, a little 'Unplugged'- era Nirvana too, Post punk-post-grunge-country music. GT writes better lyrics than most anybody I know, and sings 'em in a voice that makes Louie Armstrong's sound kinda girly" - Folkslut Magazine Boss Caine are a folk/americana collective from York, England. Formed around the songs and music of singer-songwriter Daniel Lucas (aka GT Turbo) they release their debut album on Little Num Num Music in march 2010. The album, entitled 'The Ship That Sailed' contains a selection of tunes written by Lucas over the last few years. A time that saw him leave his home town for London, before returning to York and putting together the revolving line-up of local musicians that would become Boss Caine. Recorded at Sam Forrest's 'Factory of Un-Professional Sound' studio in the North Yorkshire countryside, the album see's Boss Caine's core team of Lucas, Forrest and Andy Gaines producing the record and being joined by many of the musicians who have graced the stage as Boss Caine over the last few years. Years of hard living, hard drinking and love turned sour inform an album that is for the large part acoustic and at times visits some quite dark places, but is ultimately carried along by a healthy dose of Northern positivity and stoicism. The record is also the first in a trilogy of albums containing material written by Dan over the last few years that are due for release later this year.
