The Crooked Sessions

The Crooked Sessions is a 2010 album by Brunanter indie folk rock band The Towners. The album is an accompanying piece to the television series Small Town Crooks which is set in Charles Town, the band's home town.

After already featuring The Towners on its soundtrack, the show's music producer, Martin Bristle, personally approached the band with the idea of making an album inspired by Small Town Crooks. The band members were fans of the series and quickly came up with a concept. They locked themselves up in a rented house in Charles Town and over the course of two weeks, they watched and re-watched one or two episodes a day, and wrote and recorded a song the other.
