If you ask most people what Western music is you’d likely hear the response, cowboys and Indians. We have great respect for these music’s but we also think there is more to the West and its music. We, as musicians, like to identify with things larger than ourselves. They are often places, like the Delta and its blues or the mountain music of Appalachia. It could even be a city music like New Orleans, Austin, or Bakersfield. In our case inspiration comes from the deserts of southern Utah, thus American Desert Music.

He was a simple desert cowboy, chasin’ the wild coyote
Jealousy was afire that would not let ‘im go
He's goin’ down, down, down, down, ridin' off the map
Said now you could have walked it off, reasoned with yourself
Shadow of two lovers that the candlelight reflects
Leather boots and camisole–the sapphire of desire
Down–you can hear the devil’s choir
Now his deeds a burning cross, and it’s branded on his cheek
The moon is bleeding amber, now on everything he sees
He’s goin’ down, down, down, down, ridin’ off the map
Down, down, down, down, somewhere off of this map
So where you goin’ my friend, where you runnin' to?
Somewhere off this map, your deeds will follow you
Sing your jagged melody, every note is deep
Just fix your gaze and point your horse, you got no time now to sleep
Down, down, down down, somewhere off of this map
Down, down, down, down, ridin' off the map
Down, down, down, down, somewhere off the map
