Desert Lifesongs CD
Desert lifesongs is a musical and poetic expression of the lands and cultures of the American Southwest. Music is interspersed with poetry by Ron Kerbo. Its mix of original songs, poetry, and natural sounds provides an intimate glimpse of lifestyles and people of the land. Songs of growing up and growing old, growing love and moving on create a sense of place deeply connected to Rita’s desert roots.“One Way or Another” and “Este Tierra” move from ranches to Mexican haciendas. “West Texas Plains” is a touching ballad of mother and child growing up in wild lands, and “Leavin’ Again” is a hopeful lost-love, life-moves-on song.
Guitar, banjo, harmonica, and piano move effortlessly through songs that connect the heart. The musicianship is excellent, the lyrics rich and thoughtful, the voices haunting and clear. This album will make its way into your heart and remind you of your own special people, times and places.
