Search - Texas Sapphires :: As He Wanders

The theme of the Texas Sapphires' As He Wanders... is wrestling demons, but with glimmers of hope throughout, however fleeting. As the sophomore effort to the highly and widely claimed Lloyd Maines produced 'Valley So Steep,' the Austin-based outfit is back with twelve well-crafted and superbly executed songs featuring some of Texas finest: Scotty Matthews (Dixie Chicks, Derailers) on drums, Billy 'Dee' (Dale Watson, David Allen Coe) on bass and Tommy Detamore on dobro (Jim Lauderdale, Moe Bandy). Dual front persons Billy Brent Malkus and Rebecca Lucille Cannon churn out duets in the spirit and tradition of Porter & Dolly, George & Tammy, even John Doe & Exene Cervenka. While three years since their debut, which garnered them such prestigious accolades as Austin Music Awards 'Best New Band 2006,' and The Austin Chronicle s 'Best New Local Act,' the band has kept busy entertaining enthusiastic crowds throughout the Western US and Central Europe.
