This concept theme cd about desperation connects life experiences we can all relate to. The metaphors draw from the traditional themes of the Old West, cowboys and cowgirls and the spirit of the American horse; which carried so many on their paths. It is introspectively deep at times, and fun and upbeat during other times. The topics present the listener to contemplate and ask questions. There are many lyrical influences which will surface in these songs from Neil Young to Don Henley and Glen Frey and Greg Allman. The sound palette includes native flute to southern rock guitars and improvisational sections on many instruments. The steel guitar, native flute, flute, guitars and piano offer a unique blend for the listener to absorb. This cd offers a complete array of music from seasoned professionals. Much love and care was put into the music. We hope that this cd offers you a quality, and satisfying listening experience.
