    Dustbowl built their own flavor of Americana & Alt. Country-Rock: “Mother – Earth Rock” as they called their new “Great Fandango” album.
    “The Great Fandango” is the new Dustbowl’s album (May 2016). The band tried to made the watertight case for their music as an art form in itself. At a time when all local undeground music was stringently manufactured, these guitar-driven melodies and those Americana-produced whorls of sound proved that untried ground was not only the most fertile stuff, but also the most viable. It defined the past and - for good and ill - gave Dustbowl all its airs and graces.
    “The Great Fandango” soulful music resides not just in its compositional forms and instrumental invention, but in the elaborate vocal harmonies and lyrics that imbue these sad songs with an almost heartbreaking grandeur…it’s their “Mother – Earth Rock” legacy!

lyrics

Strain of Care

I’m leaning by my window, I see a black cloud’s a-comin’ down
As brother Cain flies away on black wings
And I shed a tear ‘cause I never saw no morning
But I felt every little change that time brings

I greet you from the side of despair
I greet you beneath the strain of care

I’ll steal any promise and I’ll bury any dream
And I’ll sail tonight if I got me the key of the sea
And I don’t care if I miss you ‘cause I get to trade myself
And the flowers you sent became chains around me

Waiting half of our lives beneath the strain of care

" It is an esoteric elegy of sentiments that draws us "down" with them, and signifies that the only catharsis, the one way road for Dustbowl comes from the earth…”

"Their music has something charming, magical"
