Album Notes & Community Reviews

Deepening their signature fusion of dusty Americana and traditional Southwestern musical styles, the Tucson duo heavily incorporated sweeping mariachi horns and intricate jazz percussion. 'Hot Rail' offers a profoundly evocative, cinematic listening experience that perfectly soundtracks the desolate beauty of the Sonoran Desert.
