A Liverpool born-and bred singer-songwriter; Kete Bowers’ debut album is one of the finest debuts I’ve heard in many a moon. Though there is a strong American country flavour throughout, Bowers doesn’t make the mistake of trying to sound American, but sings in a strong and compelling style all his very own. He is also a top-notch songwriter, up there with such other rootsy country tunesmiths as Guy Clark, Rodney Crowell and John Prine. His songs come from deep down in his soul and are coloured by his own experiences.

Alt.country singer Kete Bowers is a man of one word titles (when he's not just using symbols) and bucket loads of expression. "Road" is an album that could highlight the finest that the Austin scene has to offer. Kete is a self taught musician who listened to the country greats at his grandmother's house, an event he acknowledges on "Isobel" the second cut on the album, named after said relative. Bowers is an artist raised on the greats, greats he's come to emulate and add his own style to. His sound and musical heritage are an American dream, lived in Liverpool.

Review Editor: Fatea Magazine.


It’s a selection of country and Americana-flavoured, elegantly understated compositions that evoke memories of heartbreak regret and lost love, delivered in a marvellously weatherworn voice. The songs luxuriate in deliciously warm arrangements with rich country atmosphere .The Tex-Mex flavours of ‘Shine’, enhanced by the harmony vocals of Lily Gonzalez, the emotional intensity of ‘Rain’ and the delicately delivered beauty of the poignant ‘Isobel’ stand out. It’s left to the stripped-back vocals and acoustic guitar of ‘Stay’ to fully reveal what a powerful and compelling voice Bowers possesses.
