Thanks for featuring a New Mexico band! When we first moved here (Santa Fe, north of ABQ) from the Midwest and started going to the Summer Concerts, which feature local bands, it was so cool to hear a different version of “Americana” genre songs. As you said in your introduction, there’s a different beat, cadence, etc. There’s a lot of wonderful music here.

I hope you'll check out the album when it's out on Nov. 1, Bernadine. There are a handful of songs that reflect that Southwestern vibe of Americana. I've always loved that vibe but when I lived in the Midwest, I didn't have access to musicians who understood it. Now, I do!

There is so much to like about this! I really enjoyed it and I suspect it will be getting repeat listens over the next few days.

I'm hearing The Silos in this as well, especially the vocals.

Thanks, Gordon! That's interesting -- I loved those first few Silos records. I've never heard that comparison before and I appreciate it!

Not familiar with these guys until now. Very cool sound! Lead vocal reminds me of Lou Reed.
