Contrary to popular belief, it's not all brass bands and second lines down in New Orleans. They just happen to own brass bands and second lines down in New Orleans. Something new and really wonderful from New Orleans is the debut from a trio calling themselves The Desert Nudes. The album is called "Keep A'Movin', Dan," which if you are a sucker for cowboy songs like I am, you will recognize as a lyric from the classic Sons Of The Pioneers' song "Cool Water." That song, as well as a few more legendary western classics can be found alongside Desert Nudes originals on this excellent new album subtitled "Songs Of Hydration, Vigor, Horses & Wide Open Spaces."
The band is a collaboration between keyboardist Andre Bohren, guitarist John Paul Carmody and vocalist David Pomerleau and I loved every minute of it. Close harmony, solid playing, and a subtle sense of humour, plus killer versions of "Tumbling Tumbleweeds" and "Home On The Range" make "The Desert Nudes" a favorite of the year.

Gotta love songs of hydration.😎
You continue to shock me. I woulda never pegged you as "a sucker for cowboy songs", yet here we are, and good on ya! These guys won't supplant Gene Autry, Harry McClintock, Jules Verne Allen, Marty Robbins, or Dave Fredrickson in my collection, but I like them keeping the music alive.
