Flatland Cavalry is breaking out into a gallop. After years of hot trotting across their native Texas,the country outfit is primed for a breakout with the release of their third full-length album, thesonically sprawling and wistfully written Welcome to Countryland.

The Texas sextet––band leader and chief lyricist Cleto Cordero, guitarist Reid Dillon, bassist Jonathan Saenz, drummer Jason Albers, fiddle player Wesley Hall, and utility instrumentalist Adam Gallegos––continue to embrace their trademark sound while further pushing into the wildunknown. When it was time to embark on recording a new album, resting on their laurels wassimply out of the realm of possibilities.
