Owing to the accordion and the trumpets, this release has a bit of #TexMex flair in the overall #Americana / #progrock stew.

Added a few new tracks to the Dark Folk and Americana playlist including one from Linda Ronstadt and a lovely acoustic cover of a Radio Head song (no, not Creep).

Also, up to 19 followers, which is pretty good.
