It appears that Seals, who wrote on nine of the thirteen songs on this album, may be the main ingredient in this musical pie but it is the artful blending of all the ingredients that sets it apart and qualifies it for a blue ribbon. Their bio states, "The recipe for Hot Apple Pie includes a Virginia-bred flat-picking guitar champion/bass player, a Cajun drummer/accordionist, a Texan guitarist with a degree in jazz, a proven hit singer-songwriter and a dash of that indefinable something called musical charisma." The recipe works; the diverse ingredients are flawlessly mixed and make for a most palatable treat and who would have thought that all that Cajun spice would make for such a sweet treat. The band is quite proud of the fact that, as Matejka puts it, "This [band] is 100% natural, no artificial ingredients" and Horne quickly adds that "Yes, that's really us playing on the record." They may be a tad old to be called a "boy band" and perhaps a member or two shy of being a full "group" but no matter what else you call them, I'm sure you'll be calling them "first-rate" and their vocal harmonies are on par with the best.

I just bought the Hot Apple Pie CD and just love it. I listened to a sample on MSN Music and decided to buy it. I like the beat that most of the songs have. Keep up the good work.
EXCELLENT album. One of those precious few albums (in any genre) where I like every song on it. The harmony is incredible, and they don’t seem to rely on any one particular instrument—excellent balance of guitar, harmonica, banjo, vocals, etc. Great rockin’ tunes and some excellent ballads. I hope Hot Apple Pie keeps their momentum up, I look forward to buying more albums from them. Love it!
Yes I love this album . I've seen HOT APPLE PIE two times
in concert and they are FANTASTIC. This PIE was made to perfection, all the ingredients
blend so well together. They have so much energy and you can tell that they
love what they are doing. I can see them going straight to the top with this
album. Keep that PIE HOT boys. I'll be seeing ya'll again

I
would buy this album just to get "Slowin' Down the Fall" but
not only because Willie Nelson is a guest vocalist on this cut; nope, I
really liked this song and, yes, that is Brady Seals singing with
Willie. Hot Apple Pie is the third incarnation in Nashville for Seals.
This young artist has more lives than a cat but I think he has found his
niche' this time out. Seals contributes lead vocals, guitar, keyboards,
harmonica and accordion; rounding out the group are Mark
"Sparky" Matejka – vocals, guitar, banjo, Keith Horne –
vocals, bass guitar, acoustic guitar, steel guitar and Trey Landry –
drums, percussion and accordion.
