Origins & Discography

The Rangers hail from Lowell Indiana and have been writing and playing their original music since right around 2021, and haven’t quit since. The band currently has three albums released; the first (The Bayou) being a swampy voodoo album inspired by artists like Charlie Daniels, Jerry Reed, and all the old timey delta blues artists from the 30s and 40s. The second album (Way Of The West) is a an epic, Wild West, southern rock tale inspired by the likes of Ennio Morricone’s scores, Marty Robbin’s cowboy ballads, and some good ol’ fashioned rock n’ roll. Fast forward to the band’s 3rd album “Roll The Dice”; a twangy, honky Tonkin’, hell raisin’ country album about rolling the dice on life, and various day to day struggles, couched in Vegas casino themes.

Influenced by artists like Waylon Jennings, and Merle Haggard as well as some newer artists including Jesse Daniel, Silverada, Charley Crockett, and The Shootouts, The Rangers plan to continue their vision for bringing country music back to it’s roots, with their brand new album "Cowboy In A Bottle", chock full of steel guitar, fiddle, horns and good Ol’ honky tonk twang! The band is forging ahead with their vision of bringing real country music back; in the biggest and flashiest way possible!
