## Description

Just when you thought Giant Sand couldn't get any bigger, Howe Gelb has done just that by regrouping, expanding and magnifying his vision with the newest version of past ensembles, calling it (appropriately enough) GIANT GIANT SAND. As a sort of homage, he's named the album Tucson after the town he's called home for forty years. This self-described country rock opera by one of music's leading risk-takers, is set to be released on June 12th on Fire Records. Taking place in the town of Tucson, the story revolves around a "semi grizzled man with overt boyish naivete'' who sets off to escape his hometown and embarks on a life-changing road trip; eschewing all his worldly goods and leaving his girlfriend, encountering jail at the Mexican border, finding love at a train station saloon and fearing the end of the world. The album is a dusty work of art, conjuring images of the desert, rivers, and a cactus-strewn landscape.

    The great desert troubadour inspires a desert rock opera?
  

*by T***N on 11 March 2015*









  
  
    Giant Sand`s Tucson features music for a rock opera written by Howe Gelb.It`s the story of a young man who leaves his home to begin a road trip in the desert.His adventures teach him something about life;so it`s a classic journey of discovery.Gelb`s narrative is surreal,blurring the line between dreams and reality----for instance,the town he just entered being very similar to the one he`s just been through.In some respects it has similarities to Neil Young`s "Greendale".Both have songs that can stand alone,but are better heard as part of the overall story.To help the listener the album has copious sleevenotes,and even stage directions.The record is ambitious.As with other Gelb inspired releases there are many different musical directions and styles:country tinged songs,some jazz sounds here and there,American bluegrass and flamenco touches.If you`re familiar with Gelb`s recordings,you`ll appreciate such varying influences and sounds.For me this is one of Giant Sand`s better albums,probably because it has a connection running through all the songs.The idea of the narrative in the form of a rock opera succeeds,even if it is ambitious.It should have commercial appeal,but I`ve been saying this  before about many of Gelb`s releases.As ever it is unlikely to reach the wide audience such a great release deserves to.

    Great Great Sand
  

*by U***6 on 20 June 2012*









  
  
    I heard the best track on Cerys Mathews on 6 Music and was just blown away by the great track 'Wind Blown Waltz'. The long album (19 tracks) lives up the first track. There are a few tracks that I don't like much but the whole album has just beautiful music. This collective of 12 people has created an album of variety with slide guitars, trumpets and male and female lead vocals.
