Release Radar: Radio Free ABQ

[One Photo A Day: Lisbon]

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.

[Dave Purcell]

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!

[Lou Tilsley]

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.

[Dave Purcell]

Thanks, Lou! I very much appreciate that given your excellent taste.

[Gordon Schenck]

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

[Dave Purcell]

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

[Dan Pal]

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

[Dave Purcell]

Thanks, Dan! I'll take a Lou Reed comparison any day. ;-)

[Dave Purcell]

Thanks, Kevin! And thanks, everyone, for listening and for the kind words. I'm so happy to finally share this with everyone.

[Mark Nash]

Wow, this is fantastic! I’ll be looking forward to hearing the album!!

[Dave Purcell]

Thanks, Mark!

[Andres]

Beautiful imagery. And that guitar riff in the intro is infectious!

[Dave Purcell]

Thanks, Andres!
