Title - Listen to the Red Rock
Artist - Various

For those unaware, Gigi Love celebrates the upcoming release of Listen to the Red Rock, a compilation album in which she collaborates with several artists who are passionate about seeing America’s Red Rock Wilderness Act (ARRWA) signed into law.

The album, which will be released on October 7th, 2022 and will be available for purchase at Bandcamp.com, highlights Love’s goal to alert listeners to the importance of protecting these lands and to motivate them to reach out to their senators and representatives in support of this important legislation.

Listen to the Red Rock compiles a variety of folk, folk-rock, and bluegrass songs in support of the passage of ARRWA. By designating this federal land as wilderness, it will be protected and keep a viable corridor open to biodiversity and species connectivity, as well as prohibiting mining, drilling and development.

Indeed, in a first-of-its-kind act, the Navajo Nation has endorsed this congressional bill.

Along with Love, the line-up of wonderful musicians who are contributing their talents include Anke Summerhill, Cosy Sheridan, Kate MacLeod, Leraine Horstmanshoff, Marv Hamilton, Meander Cat, Pixie and the Partygrass Boys, Tyler Grant, and Walkin’ Jim Stoltz. Every song carries listeners on a musical journey into the Red Rock canyonlands of Utah’s mythic wilderness.

1. Dancing with the Beauty [Gigi Love]
2. Desert Song [Leraine Hortsmanshoff]
3. Red Rock [Kate MacLeod]
4. 18 Holes on the Open Range [Cosy Sheridan]
5. The Long Hard Way [Ben Weiss]
6. Hayduke [Marv Hamilton]
7. Meander Canyon [Lenore McDonough]
8. Stars at Noon [Anke Summerhill]
9. Desert Flatpicking [Tyler Grant]
10. Down in the Blue [Walkin’ Jim Stoltz]

This simply divine, atmospherically ambient, and wholly heartfelt new work of musical art opens on the poetic summers breeze of Dancing with the Beauty and the soulfully smooth, low grooves of Desert Song and then follows those up with the almost ethereal yearn of finger-picking guitar woven within Red Rock, the piano-led, poignant beauty within 18 Holes on the Open Range, and then we get the melodic bluegrass hipsway of The Long Hard Way (from Pixie and The Partygrass Boys).

Next up is the low key, richly toned Folk/Americana of Hayduke which is itself backed seamlessly by the throaty musings within Meander Canyon (named after the regional Meander Cat, born of the Utah desert land), then comes the achingly heartfelt folk of Stars at Noon, the album rounding out on the banjo-led Desert Flatpicking (from National Flatpicking Champion himself, Tyler Grant), coming to a glorious close on the lonesome, harmonica-led storytelling of Down in the Blue.
