Land, President/Owner of Kingsland Entertainment. "It was a plesure to have the Alan Fox Band perform and a plesure to work with them, at the Louisiana State Fair. I'd be in Hog Heaven, if I just had the time to sit and listen to the Alan Fox Band. They are absolutely wonderful! I hope I find a slot for them to work with us in the future." November 6th 2008 The choppers were all chromed out, the girls were all dressed up, and the crowd was large! It was a beautiful day at Strokers Ice House on 9304 Harry Hines Blvd. in Dallas As the Alan Fox Band took the stage and quickly started to bring the attention of the 1500 people to the stage. The East Texas band played a selection of music that tastefully showed the on looking audience just how classic rock and blues is supposed to sound. "It’s hard to be calm when the band sounds picture perfect", said one new fan of the Alan Fox band. I just have to say, "that just about sums it up!" The Alan Fox Band, from the east edge of Texas, in Longview. Don’t miss them when they come back in town. Sunday April 13th 2008 "Pegasus News Dallas Texas" Renewal of Faith in Music! The Alan Fox Band’s new album is surprisingly very outstanding! Do you find it really annoying that most CD's are not really good overall? I know I do. It's quite frustrating to hear an awesome song on the radio, think to yourself "I gotta have the CD!", and run out to buy it only to find that the rest of it sucks. You end up basically paying 20 dollars for a song or two. That's why I got into Napster, which allows you to download only songs you like and create your own CD's. But then this album renewed my faith that there can be good CD's out there. "Texarkana Gazette"
