Spindrift - Ghost of the West

2013 release from the Indie outfit whose music has shifted away from their Psychedelic roots and now evokes the spirit of the old West as mythologized by Western Cinema. While mixing their album Ghost of the West, bandleader Kirpatrick Thomas brought forth the idea that the band should tour Ghost Towns, perform the songs, and document the journey. Booking, filming, and performing during the tour was a difficult process as many of the destinations were unreachable and roads and conditions were hazardous. However, the tour brought them to over 21 different Ghost Towns, including Bodie, California, Tombstone, Arizona, and Deadwood, South Dakota. Many landmarks and monuments were also reached, such as Cathedral Gorge State Park and the Sonoran Desert. This is the soundtrack to that journey.
