Explaining why the album is no longer in production, frontman Evan Felker told the Tulsa World in 2015, “In the first month that we were a band, we went in and decided we needed something to sell at the shows. It did us a great service, but it’s not a good representation of who we are now,” Felker said. “There’s not even a fiddle on ‘Bossier City.’ It’s just not us.”

This is the first time I’ve ever heard this album and I’ve been a Turnpike fan since I discovered them in 2014. They need to re-release Come November.

[@keyvenbuchanan3]

A re-release of this album with the lineup they have now would be unreal. The steel and the fiddle would be golden

[@Harrisonfarms]

Solid Ground is one of my favorite Turnpike songs of all time. Why not release them

[@corey2823]

Wish they would of re released Come November like they did Bossier City and Easton & Main

[@jennifermyers7789]

Thank you for sharing, I remember this album vaguely (I was in 7th grade when this came out). The album is rough and raw, it makes me smile to see how far they've came and grown as a band. I hope after their hiatus they come back strong.

[@zachteply6336]

They did. ❤❤

[@press_here__8697]

I feel like, in the year that this has been posted, I’ve accounted for at least 10% of the views. Can’t get enough of this album

[@rickellis5992]

They are a very good band and surely underrated. I had the pleasure to see them in the early years Blessings to you all*****

[@trevsaw86]

First, thank you! FINALLY! I was at NSU (Tahlequah,OK) when they were still looking for the right drummer. They ask our band to open for them twice. SO, thank you again! For posting this album full of memories. Sincerely, Good People

[@HayBombYT]

Hey, back on the channel again! Yet another band I grew up with, expect this band means something else to me. My half brothers' uncle is actually the fiddle player, Kyle! If I'm not mistaken I probably met him when I was young. I have a weird association with this song, the Xbox 360 had a feature where you could rip CDs and play them locally and even during gameplay so I'd listen to Bossier City a lot when playing the Just Cause 2. The reason I had the song on my Xbox 360 was that one of my half brothers' gave us their external hard drive from their console and so we had the music from it. Sadly, I think on accident we deleted all the music off of their, a real shame honestly. I can only imagine what other music was on there. Finding this upload of yours, I'm pretty sure that I had this recording of it.

[@robison0532]

I’ve been trying to find places to listen to this album forever I used to have the cd but lost it and it’s great finally getting to hear this again

[@justingibson3469]

I was in the same boat. Evan and Kyle used to come play acoustic in stillwater on the strip and I bought it one night when I was working and they played at the cricket

[@stevewhite5743]

You can buy the digital version from Waterloo records

[@WCGwkf]

@@stevewhite5743 damn thanks. People need to know about this

[@jmarts715]

I think it more has to do with the band not being completely satisfied with the release. It was a pretty rushed session from what they explain….. all that being said I love the album. Play it all the time too 😂

[@brockculwell4335]

If come November isn’t on the new album I’ll be furious my favorite turnpike somg

Other than Diamonds and Gasoline, this is their best album.

[@ampsrocks]

Finding this on has made my year! I have been hunting for this for quite a while as it is my favorite album of theirs. And in the last few months I have managed to to have the cd stolen and the lil MP3 player I had it copied on finally broke down. After looking everywhere online for a copy to be let down, I am very appreciative that I have been able to find it here. Thank you!

Great band, big fan. First time I've listened to this entire album. Solid ground has a real Steve Earle in the 80's feel, dig it.

They DEFINITELY opened for TT. What an epic show!!

This is better than any of they’re other stuff

[@yustinaaron]

Are you associated with the band? This is my favorite album of theirs, but I'm old school red dirt fan lol. Thanks for the solid upload

[@MoreOvalteenPlz]

Justin Roberts No association to the band. Just a “Hard-Core Troubadour” (to quote Steve Earle) fan hoping they can make a recovery and that their hiatus is only temporary. I wanted to share the whole album considering the majority of Turnpike fans don’t even know it exists...

[@tucker2326]

So was this recorded at "That music place" in Mead ok/ Bc im from Durant ok they started playing arounf here the Red Barn etc but when you see them now they always credit our area for cutting their 1st album at, once again, "That music place" in Mead okla

[@tonyhobbs38]

Its not a live album..

[@spurfectionfilms4165]

That country music place. Is the name of it. I’m from Durant Oklahoma. I went and watched them on February 22 a couple years back my wife and I. They were awesome

[@MusicByJesse]

Does anyone know if Mike McClure produced this album?

[@leftytee790]

Luke Dunkin got me here!

[@robertprell1960]

I can't believe that no one has mentioned it! This youtube video has they key modified, probably to avoid copyright. It is almost unlistenable. It is much deeper than the normal Turnpike Troubadours.

This audio was imported directly from the Bossier City album CD using iTunes (256kbps AAC) and has not been modified in any way, shape or form. You can compare it to snippets of the songs from the current copyright owner here (waterloorecords.com/UPC/634479696343) and find that it is identical. Bossier City was recorded in the band’s infancy and sounds drastically different from their later albums. Please educate yourself before making false accusations.
