The True Deceivers announce the immediate online release of their long-awaited third album, My Own Highway, following up their critically acclaimed earlier collections Lies We Have Told and Hell or High Water and once again bringing their Americana, Cajun and folk influences together with a melodic songwriting instinct to produce their unique sound.

The band have become regular festival favourites across the UK, since their formation in 2003, and are already building up their festival schedule for 2021.

My Own Highway was recorded at Woodworm Studios, Oxfordshire, and engineered by Stuart Jones. The 11 tracks in the collection range from the high-energy stomp of Somewhere Safe to Land – a song of hope in difficult times – to the wistful regret of Drinking to Forget, and from the country twang of You’re My Reason to the unrestrained defiance of Bloody But Unbowed. The sound of the True Deceivers is as infectious as it is hard to define, and all played with a genuine enthusiasm and energy. 

Lead singer Graham Firth and songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Nick Bliss combine with distinctive harmony vocals, backed up by the solid rhythm section of Dee Coley (bass) and Jamie Legg (drums). Add to this Rupert Lewis’s wonderfully inventive fiddle, and the result is an irresistible brew. 

 “…the album that pulls in new admirers, who can then go back and discover all that came before.” Malcolm Wyatt, Writewyattuk
