Howe Gelb "Dust Bowl" 2013

I find Howe Gelb's music sort of indispensable these days...when I listen to his slightly (?) skewed view of the world through his compositions, a strange sense of 'rightness' seems to settle my own misgivings and trepidations...how does he do that? - John Cratchley
Whether you know him as Giant Sand or Blacky Ranchette, Howe Gelb is one prolific dude. Gelb has a unique voice and style; you either like it or you don't (similar to Tom Waits). I happen to love it. Think of him as a zen cowboy/farmer, and think of this album as him exorcising/exercising America's dusty ghosts. - none
