The four "Forgotten Sons" Gerry (Gerold Hinrichs), Kay Dee (Klaus Dörenkämper), Ringo (Peter Herzberg) and Woodpecker Cartwright (Michael Grunwald) from the Osnabrück district are countering the imposed Corona break 2020/2021 by producing their first CD.
The band's own song map with around 75 cover songs from the live repertoire provided 13 pieces that were
The songs were initially pre-produced as demos under home studio conditions. In addition, THE FORGOTTEN SONS OF BEN CARTWRIGHT arranged and recorded two new songs written by singer Gerry and his nephew Sebastian Hinrichs.
With a distribution opportunity through the Osnabrück-based company TIMEZONE records and a booked recording studio in hand, the recording sessions finally began in the summer of 2021 at the "Mühle der Freundschaft" in Bad Iburg. In sound engineer and studio owner Marcus Praed, the four "Forgotten Sons" found an ideal partner for the realization of the project. At the end of the recording sessions, three guest musicians – fiddler Peter van den Bos (Music Road Pilots, NL), keyboardist Torsten Kappei (formerly of Country Express Salzgitter), and guitarist Martin Lutze (formerly of Southern Streamline) – enriched some of the songs with their musical talents.
The CD is titled "Time To Fold The Cards" (title track/original composition) and will be released on April 22.04.2022, 15. Fifteen song titles reflect the band's stylistic range and go far beyond mere country song covers. This has been confirmed in preview reviews and critiques in the country music press and online portals. Musical influences include Alan Jackson, Toby Keith, Rosanne Cash, and Kris Kristofferson, to name just the most well-known artists.
