Chris Mellor, Seamus Mulready and their friends from in and around the Ottawa, Ontario, area formed Huntley Slim & the Suburban Cowboys in the mid-2000s. They released their first EP in 2007 entitled Sherway Sessions. Their first official album Songs From This Chicken Coop was released in August 2009. The album was actually recorded in an old chicken coop in Carp, Ontario, where Mellor's father was building a boat. According to Mellor, "We recorded the instruments live off the floor; mainly we found it too difficult to use a click track, but the natural feel of the album goes well with the type of music we're playing. The vocals and harmonica were added later, but still recorded in the chicken coop. April 10, 2009, was when we did the instruments. It was a cold day, we had heaters going in the chicken coop beside everyone between takes."
