Yours Truly is the first compilation studio album (CD - Vinyl 2xLP) (A sticker on the shrink says "The Ultimate Best Of & Rarities Anthology Remastered" ) by American (from Denver, Colorado) with french mucisians, alternative folk-rock country band 16 Horsepower, released on January 30, 2011. Producer Bob Ferbrache - 16 Horsepower. A collection featuring one disc of fan-selected favourites and one disc of previously unreleased and out-of-print rarities. The group separated from 2005 and this album constitutes the first flower of the 16th Horsepower. 

 

Folklore is the fourth and final studio album by American (from Denver, Colorado) with french mucisians, alternative folk-rock country band 16 Horsepower. It was released on Juin 17, 2002. Producer Bob Ferbrache - 16th Horsepowe. As indicated by its name, most of the material on Folklore is drawn from traditional folk music. "Folklore" or a sober, intimate, poignant and sad swan song, like its mourning cover... without a doubt, Sixteen Horsepower's best album...

 

Sackcloth 'n' Ashes is the debut studio album by American (from Denver, Colorado) with french mucisians, alternative folk-rock country band 16 Horsepower, released on February 6, 1996. Producer Warren Bruleigh - 16 Horsepower. This style would form the basis of all subsequent Edwards productions with 16 Horsepower and his later band Wovenhand. Best dark roots music and an excellent alternative country rock album. A possessed singer, banjo, accordion, guitars, percussion, dark lyrics of religion and guilt, clear and well-crafted rhythms...
