Tony Carey explained to Jonas Wårstad 2 April 2014: "I wrote at least 250 little sketches and songs between 79-82. Peter Hauke released these as instrumental records, on his own label, to get a tax write-off. These weren't meant to be instrumental, they were songs I was working on. ... In March 2010 and in early 2011 Carey released two albums featuring cover versions Stanislaus County Kid Volume 1 and 2.

Tony Carey has taken the art of musical story telling to all new heights. The Boystown Tapes is a musical compendium of short stories, each song being it's own volume. Stories that reflect on childhood and the innocence of youth, stories that protest the proliferation of hate, technology and information in the modern world as well as stories that illustrate the pain of dealing with loved ones addicted to drugs. ... Best known for '80s classic rock hits like "A Fine, Fine Day," "I won't Be Home Tonight" and "Why Me?" (from his awesome side project, Planet P), Tony Carey returns with his deep, emotionally resonant, and sometimes breathtaking "The Boystown Tapes," an outstanding collection of story songs in the finest, purest rock tradition.

Performed by Tony Carey. ... "Wilder Westen Inklusive" is designed as a three part TV-mini-series, weighing in at roughly five hours, but essentially is one long movie. Over-long, to say the least. It's about 40 percent road trip, 30 percent comedy, and 30 percent family-friendly movie, including all those elements of love, coming-of-age, being strangers in a strange land, topped off with a hearty spoonful of schmaltz and relationship drama.
