The Forest Rangers - Land Ho!

From the band behind FX's TV drama "Sons Of Anarchy"

Featuring guest performances from Katey Sagal, Audra Mae, Billy Valentine, Amos Lee and more!

"If there was a band playing at the "Sons of Anarchy" clubhouse every Friday night, the Forest Rangers would have been that band." — Bob Thiele Jr., the show's music supervisor, Emmy-nominated songwriter and composer

After supplying the soulful musical narrative for seven highly successful seasons of the FX drama, the Forest Rangers have released their debut album Land Ho!. Co-produced by Thiele and Grammy Award-winning producer/engineer Dave Way (Michael Jackson, Macy Gray, Ringo Star), the album is as much a point of arrival as it as a point of departure for the band, which features some of L.A.'s finest working musicians. Recorded during the final season of "Sons of Anarchy," the experience was especially meaningful for Thiele, who sings lead vocals on a number of the album's songs.

"In 1979 I had the idea to make a record as a solo artist. A few things happened along the way and that idea of mine was put on hold," explains Thiele, who much like his father, legendary record producer Bob Thiele (John Coltrane, Gil Scot Heron, Buddy Holly), has spent the majority of his career on the other side of the vocal booth: producing, playing and writing.

Thanks to the popular "Sons of Anarchy" soundtracks (more than 2 million downloads and more than 250,000 CDs sold worldwide) a large and receptive audience was exposed to Forest Ranger's music, inspiring the band to record their album debut.
