Rhythmic movement like a steady wind against long cloud-like sliding notes. An ideally dramatic opener. Wide open for what is to come, yet foreboding.

A reflective piece of gritty Americana that evokes Western images. But this pensive, pedal steel-driven piece is equally at home in any place haunted by the great lonesome.

Every rural small town has its rough and tumble place to hang out. This is the Saturday sound you hear from the parking lot while you start to unwind from the week.

Nature’s moods can be the perfect reflection of the soul of man. We hear the two rising and falling in this piece, held-up by a pedal steel guitar dream. Calming, resting, waiting for the rain.

The beginning and the end of a road-movie. Classic in sound and texture. Resolve and character are dripping from this forward-moving piece.

Music of mountain ranges, with a banjo racing up and down the winding slopes. Universal images of the mountains are conjured up by a melody that comes from the old world but still lives in the new.

Bluesy and moody, pounding and sounding like horses or revved-up engines. Timeless tones of restlessness.
