Highway
Gothic
(October 2009) – DeSoto Rust's newest release marks a return to the
group’s bar band roots with a hard-driving rhythm section and thick
guitar sound, sweetened with harmonies. The band has continued to hone
its sound in diverse venues across the East Coast, expanding its sonic
pallet to include acoustic guitar and mandolin, as well as more complex
vocal arrangements. Eleven original tunes continue to explore the theme
of the American road using the FHA’s signage font as a metaphorical
springboard. Produced by Joe Carroll, the album also features a cover
of Bob Dylan’s New Morning.
