Horse Opera

Sounds of the Desert

The easy two-step ("Save My Tears") that kicks off Sounds of the Desert belongs more in neon honky-tonk than under a coyote moon. That's okay, because Horse Opera's country twang is designed to please dancers and pack dance floors. "3 to Closing," "Devil You Love Best," and "St. Cecilia" all wrap around Jimmy Deveney's workingman delivery, the guy looking for fun and dance on Saturday night.
