Nothing stays the same. Our lives move on until we forget where we came from. We never get to where we’re going.
We begin our journeys with good intentions and we all find ourselves on that same road.
Our ancestors kept moving, from persecution, from poverty, and out of a restless spirit. They moved across the plains of Europe, into the hills, into the Celtic diaspora, across the ocean, always heading West. They made music and sang about their lost homes, trying to tap into some sense of continuity.
In the 21st century,
we still need
to sing those songs.

The Good Intentions continue to celebrate the musical legacy of our ancestors, as well as the simplicity and raw honesty of the songwriting, the band try to recreate the sounds of country music of years past, roots, bluegrass and now with the pedal steel, the 'Bakersfield' influences of the 50s and 60s country music pioneers.
