Rock, blues, and even a bit of some country.
I'm not sure what to call what we are trying to do here. Possibly rock music, with a touch of blues, jazz, hard rock, some country, some folk, and some reggae. We're trying to keep it earthy, real, at times it could get a bit retro, and will tend towards live style in studio recordings (the band actually playing together to make a cut), but not in all cases. Dave does all the drumming, and Ed joins occasionally for some bass work.

Story behind the song
Wrote the bones of the tune on my acoustic. It's got a whole host of guitars on it, lap steel, acoustic, acoustic in Nashville tuning, and my SG through a classic MXR phase 90. Dave had the idea for the stadium snare sound. We cut his drums this past July, but most the song was recorded sometime last year, and written in October of 2014. These things take time I guess, or Dave and I work real slow.
Lyrics
I’m going down to Rio Bravo To find that girl hair golden brown I’m going down to Rio Bravo I’m headed for that Laredo town Well she left me in Austin, for another man And she left him and headed south with another plan A note in my mail asking forgiveness for all the lies I may be soft hearted, but I missed looking into those eyes I’m going down to Rio Bravo To find that girl hair golden brown I’m going down to Rio Bravo I’m headed for that Laredo town She didn’t expect me back after all she had done She just wanted to apologize before heading to the sun I guess her man had treated her bad, not that I had known In her note she spoke of it and how she never felt more alone I’m going down to Rio Bravo To find that girl hair golden brown I’m going down to Rio Bravo I’m headed for that Laredo town
