The Band Behind the Hit "All For You" Are All For Cats

8/19/2019

You could call them earth angels. All bets were off for the band Sister Hazel as they put everything on the line for a band of stray cats (the creature variety; not the music-making human kind). After making an over 800-mile journey, the platinum-sellers discovered and rescued six adorable kittens trapped in their tour bus. No word if any of the kitties had hazel eyes (or even if they were sisters) but they are all resting comfortably. Purrhaps the group should re-make their hit video into an all-kitten version? Or maybe that's just nuts. -TCC

Lead singer and guitarist for the band, Ken Block, described it as, "the CRAZIEST thing ever!"

He recalled, "One of our crew guys came into the venue last Friday afternoon and told Kurt Pfister, our production manager, he heard a weird noise coming from somewhere in the bus that sounded like cats. Kurt told him we have been having problems with the air compressor and that’s probably what it was. He went out, heard something, shut everything down on the bus, and shockingly heard meowing. The cries were tracked down to the front battery compartment of the bus where it was opened to find SIX kittens. Kurt then called the bus owner to get some advice about the easiest way to get to three of them that we couldn’t reach. The owner then told him that the mother cat lives in an old abandoned bus on the tour bus company's parking lot in Nashville, TN and she had six kittens a couple of weeks ago. So she must have moved them into our bus. Luckily, one of the employees of the venue in Ocala, FL runs an animal rescue, so she took them to get fed and checked out!! They seemed okay, but I can’t imagine how loud and windy it was when the bus was on the road!"

    About

    Hi. I'm a member of the country club. Country Music is what I love.  

    ​Are you somewhere that you don't belong? Without a jukebox and a country song? Maybe you came here seeking a nice, bright, sunny, resort-y kind of place. The kind of place festooned with ferns. Maybe this was even your LAST resort. We hope not. But don't worry, we still have the best of intentions with this blog - you might not find a lot of tennis but we still intend to raise a racket now and then. (In other words --- although you will sometimes find press releases here we net ORIGINAL content too).
