    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

The Great Fandango

I see my lady as she sways
Mother earth’s precious daughter
She sings high skies in a plaint
And dancing ripples on holy water

Mortality is in our hearts
And a strange sadness is coming
You had come but gone forever
While gloomy dusk was rising

Lord knows how much I’ve loved you
Deviant child of mother earth
Since the night of the great fandango
When muddy trails gave you birth

I know they'll never catch us
In this dark and dull night
We are in the lap of god now
‘Till sweet early morning light

And I kept this old address
Of someone that I knew
But the homeward wind waves
Carrying my ruins back to you

" 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…”
