A Liverpool based band R Peter Davies, Gabrielle Monk and Frank Roskell whose music is a mixture of Country, Folk and Americana. Joined last year by the muscial talents of Scott POley on pedal steel, mandolin, and lap steel, and most recently by Bryn williams and his very large stand up bass.


Our first album ‘Poor Boy’ was released on Boronda records in 2008, an independent California label, through transatlantic collaboration which would have been impossible only a few years ago. The vocals and guitar were recorded in Liverpool at ‘Sack the Cat’ studios , sent electronically to Charlie McGovern at Boronda, who added well regarded session musicians, Rick Shea on Dobro, pedal steel and mandolin, Mike Stinson on drums, and Rob Douglas on bass. Rick, of course, is well known as one of Dave Alvin’s ‘Guilty Men’ .
Final mastering by John Nowland, Neil Young’s engineer, added the final touches, to an album described variously as:

“this record oozes the influences of the Byrds, the Long Ryders and Neil Young (Harvest era) “ -
- Americana UK


“The Good Intentions' Americana folky sound echoes of a Grateful Dead reborn. Their sound is comparable to Gram Parsons with Emmylou. R. Peter Davies and Gabrielle Monk sing beautifully, and Frank Roskell's vocals and guitar complements them well. Their songs take listeners on journeys down dusty roads and past cornfields, placing you perfectly in a quaint, country-town setting”

''The Good Intentions have captured a gorgeous, Byrdsian, country / folk jangle...''
- Miles Of Music (Los Angeles)
