EUROPEAN CUSTOMERS: Please order from BANDCAMP
A double album, recorded in Tucson and long distance with musicians from Calexico and friends.
Disc 1 -The songs from the (long since sold out) Desert Trilogy EPs (half from the Sinner's Shrine sessions but not already on the album, and half recorded long distance) finally released on one CD.
Disc 2 - El Tiradito – Dean unleashes his inner Morricone with an all instrumental soundtrack for an imaginary Western, inspired by the story of El Tiradito, or The Shrine to the Sinner, which is part of Tucson folklore.
The story reads like a classic Sergio Leone Western – a tragic tale of forbidden passion and blood soaked revenge and retribution. To this day, people still visit the shrine and leave messages to lost loved ones, lovers, saints and sinners.
Beautifully designed 6 panel digipak* with original illustrations by Luisa Carmela Casasanta and design by James Morrison (who also designed the packaging for Sinner's Shrine)
