Hilary Gardner’s new project *On the Trail with The Lonesome Pines* celebrates the romantic mythology of the American West from the singing cowboy era of the 1930s-40s. Many trail songs were written not only by singing cowboys, but by Great American Songbook composers, jazz and film composers and lyricists like Johnny Mercer, Benny Carter, Frank Loesser, and others. A song making its debut in a Western film starring Roy Rogers or Gene Autry would often go on to be recorded by a swinging big band or the original hip cowboy, Bing Crosby—the lines between genres were, happily, blurrier back then.

The group’s live shows paint high spirited and harmonious soundscapes of the archetypal cowboy’s life on the trail—replete with pale dawns, purple hills, and the high lonesome feeling of camping out beneath a vast, star-filled sky. Says Gardner, “These songs remind us that the answers to many of life’s big questions can be found in contemplative solitude, the beauty of the natural world, and the arms of a loved one.” The group has performed to sold-out houses in some of New York City’s most esteemed venues, including Dizzy’s Club at Jazz at Lincoln Center and Birdland.

Their award-winning debut album *On the Trail with The Lonesome Pines* (Anzic Records) was produced by Eli Wolf (Norah Jones, Cassandra Wilson, Willie Nelson).

*A sound suggestive of the vast expanses of the open plains, a huge empty canvas that paints an internal picture—a surreal, extraplanetary prairie of the mind….They have taken a subgenre that no one quite realized actually even existed and made something new and wondrous with it.*  
– The Wall Street Journal

…*an unjustly neglected corner of the Great American Songbook: the rich vein of swinging tunes from the accomplished pens of Johnny Mercer, Frank Loesser, and others, written in the 1930s and ‘40s for the singing cowboys of stage and screen. This is not the historical American West, but it’s a powerful fantasy implanted in our collective imagination…* — Stereophile Magazine
