An excerpt from www.myspace.com/hgwt:

Florida's HAVE GUN, WILL TRAVEL has been busy since the 2008 release of their debut full-length album, Casting Shadows Tall As Giants. The album garnered praise from national media outlets such as National Public Radio. "Their music has a great energy to it with some infectious, sing-along choruses and refrains," commented NPR host Robin Hilton.

At Creative Loafing's 2008 Best of the Bay Awards show held in Tampa, HGWT took home the Readers' Poll Award for Best Americana Act and Staff pick for Local CD of the Year. The album quickly became the most-played album of the year on Tampa's WMNF 88.5 fm. In early 2009 Casting Shadows... spent 2 months on the CMJ Top 200 college radio charts.

The album's opening song "Blessing and a Curse" was recently chosen to appear on every episode of the upcoming 2009 season of PBS's Roadtrip Nation. The band is currently wrapping up production on their follow-up release, which should see the light of day sometime this fall.
