Album Of The Week

"Don’t let the band’s name fool you. Surrender Hill is still fighting the good fight, responding to the challenges of contemporary life with music that’s ambitious, hook filled, topical, and artistically diverse. 'Just Another Honky Tonk In A Quiet Western Town' is an album that creates its own geography, setting up camp at the crossroads of americana, outlaw country, and western music."

- Kenneth Bremer / Blue Desert -

"Surrender Hill as a name was taken from a place in South Africa, where the Boer War ended and is something of a metaphor for being able to surrender to adversity and finding one’s place and some measure of peace together. It seems appropriate for these musical endeavours, wherein the duo more than prove themselves as songwriters, musicians and vocalists, and this is something of a statement of what can be achieved as independent artists and truth seekers."

- Stephen Rapid / Lonesome Highway -

"'Just Another Honky Tonk In A Quiet Western Town' marks Surrender Hill's finest work to date and surely one of the best country albums of the decade."

- Mike Davies / Fatea Magazine -

"This is Surrender Hill's 5th album so far, which has once again many highlights to offer, especially on CD # 2, that seems to cover the best songs, so I can highly recommend it."

- Gabor Kleinbloesem / Strutterzine -

"Surrender Hill forms a beautiful duo that keeps western country music alive. If you love a cowboy campfire, just sit down and listen, or dance a line."

- Marino Serdons / Keys & Chords -

"Since Robin Dean Salmon and Afton Seekins became married duo Surrender Hill in 2015, they have only produced magnificent records in roots, country and americana style. For their 5th release, they managed to bring 24 very strong new self penned songs on 2 CD’s which they have combined into the double album ‘Just Another Honky Tonk In A Quiet Western Town’, an absolute must have for all true fans of honest and heartwarming country music."

- Valére Sampermans / Rootstime -
