Description
Western Mind is Colorado-based guitarist Josh Martin’s homage to the grandeur and sublime beauty of his home state. Odes to the high lonesome byways and wind-blown denizens of both the real “West” and the one that exists solely in the imagination.
Listen close and you can hear the eye-watering grandeur of snow caps and water carved canyons…a dusty watering hole’s neon sigh of ancient neon…the soft footsteps of crepuscular critters moving through long-abandoned towns.
Keep digging in, keep your head up, and embrace the Western Mind.
