“Cory Grinder and the Playboy Scouts surprised me with this record - with each listen I came to see the power of this band and the music. Ultimately, this record is a favorite of the last month and I keep playing it over and over. And it never gets boring”

“ Back Here on This Throne gets at that deliciously glum feeling when you’re into someone, but they’re just not feeling the same way, or maybe sometimes they are? It’s messy, but the Scouts make it seem like the coolest emotional space to be.”

“Top-notch playing and honky tonk sound”

“There is an entire subset of Country Music about dogs. Most of them are tear jerkers but I never have heard one told from the dog’s perspective. Cory Grinder has written that song and it is sad, sly and stands up to many listens as you dig deep to realize all that happens in this heartbreaker of a tune.”

““ Cory Grinder and the Playboy Scouts have been building a solid reputation as a live band performing at times with Dale Watson and Kenny Vaughan. One can easily see how these legendary musicians view the potential in the band. ”

“true to the band’s moto of doing duty “for two-step dancers and honky-tonkers everywhere.” This they do with an energy and a fitting melodic sensibility that endorses the collective skills of the band fronted by the mellifluous vocal of Grinder.“”

“Honky Tonkin’ Beauty Supreme” possesses some supreme moments such as “Drinkin’ Lots Of Wine,” the closing “Trouble Again” with a terrific truckin’ beat and some fine pickin’, and possibly my favourite, the twangy “Back Here On This Throne.”

““The rowdy tune is an anthem for all the hard-charging country musicians who devote their life to playing for tips in smoky bars.””

“The Cory Grinder Band captures the spirit of classic Honky Tonk”
