Supple warm pedal steel provides the heart of Raymond Richards gorgeously underrated instrumental album of place name/road trip songs of wonderment. Thankfully there are more textures than just the mighty pedal steel, with drums, piano, tasteful keys, and rhythm guitar melodies rooting it all down. Touchstones are Daniel Lanois, Chuck Johnson and Bill Frisell. Earthy music to take on your next drive toward vast open spaces or to create some in your mind with you eyes closed.
Favorite track: IDAHO FALLS, IDAHO.
