As Steve Austin, founder of long-running visionary metal outfit Today Is The Day, prepares to release Marked Cards And Loaded Dice (SuperNova Records) – the debut LP from his classic outlaw country/bluegrass act – the newest preview of the record arrives through a video for “Crazy Dreams.”

Marked Cards And Loaded Dice was fully engineered, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Austin, the songs recorded entirely on 1960s-1970s vintage analog gear – including Neve preamps, Neumann tube mics, and Abbey Road TG console equipment used on The Beatles and Pink Floyd – sounding as rich and real as the golden era of outlaw country. Rippin’ D-28 and D-18 guitar work drives intense rhythms and down-home solos. With Steve Austin handling guitar, bass, and vocals, and Colin Frecknall on drums, legendary pedal steel master Dana Flood (Hall Of Fame sideman for Hank Williams, Willie Nelson, and George Jones) and fiery fiddle virtuoso Ryu Bennett add soaring, emotional depth.

This is outlaw country the way it was meant to sound: real, raw, and unforgettable. “Crazy Dreams” arrives with another video directed by STEVE AUSTIN’s son, Hank Austin..
