Music News - 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.
