Cover Notes: Buoyed by the joy of creating their 2022 album – ‘Confidence’ – The Hoosiers are swaggering back through the saloon doors of the music industry with both barrels locked and loaded. Armed with their sixth album, Irwin Sparkes & Alan Sharland pick up where they left off; honing a more adult take on the jubilant sound that made a name for them back in 2007. Reflections between the duo probed the question of why even bother to make an album – at considerable cost – in an age with scant regard for the form? ‘The conversation that had been picked up with fans following Confidence had taken on a momentum of its own and we were compelled not to lose something so valuable’, says Irwin.
