| If you think Texas music is all the same, you haven't heard Joe Kuban and The Lost Chizo Band. On The River Road is a compilation of thirteen original songs by singer-songwriter and biologist Dr. Joe Kuban, about his beloved Big Bend territory. Joe spent years in the Rio Grande Big Bend country researching the local environment, and captures the area's essence in this unique Texana music anthology. The country/rock/folk/Hispanic influences of On The River Road, is as distinctive a blend of music as is the landscape of the Big Bend region itself.
For the uninitiated, Big Bend is a huge expanse of exceptionally unique desert, canyon, and mountain wilderness formed by the Rio Grande River in southwest Texas. Though a wild and rugged labyrinth, the area is anything but a wasteland. Aside from breathtaking vistas, it is home for diverse rare plant and animal life, and contains valuable archaeological remains as well. This inspired recording will transport you along the river, canyons, mountains, and hidden springs that evoke the legends of the region. Through production company Agave Music Inc., proceeds for sales of On The River Road go to the Big Bend National History Society, a nonprofit organization supporting the conservation and education efforts in Big Bend. The Lost Chizo Band is composed of Kuban's friends, colleagues, and family musicians, with performing talents as immense and varied as that of the trans-Pecos region of the Texas borderlands known as the Big Bend. |
