A thoroughly modern band that finds sources of inspiration in earlier forms of American music: Honky-tonk, R&B, prewar and postwar western swing with a touch of blues, folk, boogie-woogie, country rock, and a generous helping of rockin' hillbilly bop, music that in recent years has been referred to as American music or roots music.

The group started in Fort Worth, Texas when Jim Colegrove, a founding member of the Juke Jumpers, a well-known Texas jump blues and rockabilly band, and David McMillan began recording classic country songs. Susan Colegrove joined them to add vocals to some of the tracks, and Jim asked his friend Jeff Gutcheon to play piano. Jeff and Jim had been in bands together in the 1970s, Great Speckled Bird (featured in the 2004 film Festival Express) and Hungry Chuck. Jim, David, Jeff, and Susan decided to continue working and record some original songs, and in 2000 finished enough tracks for a CD. They called the new group Lost Country®. The group's fourth CD, titled Long Gone Thrill, was released nationally November 15, 2005.
