Music News - Paul Gurney with The DeSotos ride the 'Highway Of Dreams'

Paul Gurney with The DeSotos ride the 'Highway Of Dreams'

24 March 2017 - 0 Comments

Auckland country-blues rockers Paul Gurney with The DeSotos are pleased to announce the release of Paul’s new single Highway Of Dreams from his forthcoming solo album Shadow of Love– recorded with The DeSotos and due out on April 21st.

Highway Of Dreams begins with an ethereal, sparse Paris, Texas style guitar intro, leading into a dirty desert guitar riff. Musing on the passing of time and our place in the universe, Paul and the band take the song to 70's Neil Young country rock territory as it builds and ebbs back to it's final resting place.

The soundscape production by Bob Shepheard is designed to closely reflect this dreamy, other worldly feel in a manner reminiscent of US producer Daniel Lanois.

The accompanying video clip was produced by Marcus Ringrose (http://www.playstudio.co.nz/) and weaves in some striking imagery to capture the essence of the song's underlying theme.

Watch Highway Of Dreams here:

The DeSotos have cemented their place as New Zealand's leading exponents of the Americana/country blues genres following the release of previous albums Cross Your Heart and Your Highway For Tonight which were both embraced by the critics at home and abroad.

Their dynamic live show steps it up a notch further with 4 part harmonies, rootsy Gretsch guitar, Hammond organ and a rock solid rhythm section.

Shadow Of Love is due for release on April 21st 2017. 'Highway Of Dreams' is now available now as an instant free track if you pre-order the album now on iTunes. To listen to 'Highway Of Dreams' head to Spotify.
