Obsessed With The West

Released

On the opening track of this album, singer-songwriter Brennen Leigh makes her intentions clear: “If Tommy Duncan’s Voice Was Booze” is an unambiguous love letter to the halcyon days of 1940s Western swing, when Duncan was lead singer for Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys. She has Asleep at the Wheel backing her up on this album, so the rest of the program follows suit, giving a slyly modern lyrical edge to the sounds of classic Texas cowboy jazz.
