Sinner's Shrine CD
Sinner’s Shrine is the latest stop on a lifetime’s journey - from the post industrial heartlands of Scotland to the untrammelled wide-open vistas of the American Southwest – as Dean surrenders to the intoxicating sounds of the US desert states, an area which has long captured his heart.
Themes of love and lust, sinners and saints, the displaced, the wanderers and the border ghosts run through the album (Owens’ 8th (official) solo release) like the desert sands.
Beautifully packaged in a 6 panel, gatefold digipak. Design by James Morrison with stunning original illustrations by Luisa Carmela Casasanta.
Recorded at the iconic WaveLab Studios in Tucson, with musicians from Calexico.
Musicians included are Dean Owens, Joey Burns, John Covertino, Jacob Valenzuela, and Sergio Mendoza with Tom Hagerman, Paul Neihaus, Naïm Amor, Antonio Pró, Craig Schumacher, Thomas Colinson. Special guest appearances by Grant-Lee Phillips and Gaby Moreno.
All tracks produced by Dean Owens except La Lomita, produced by Joey Burns and Dean Owens.
