The Hopeless Ghosts - Dean Owens (Ft Grant-Lee Phillips on harmony vocals), 2021

 

The Hopeless Ghosts was recorded at WaveLab Studio, Tucson AZ, with members of Calexico, and Grant-Lee Phillips on harmony vocals. Inspired by the late, great Townes Van Zandt (who, when asked in an interview why his songs were so sad, replied that he had a few that weren’t sad, that they were just hopeless, about hopeless situations. It was an idea that really stuck with me).

Dean Owens – vocals, nylon string guitar 
Grant-Lee Phillips – harmony vocal 
Joey Burns – upright bass, electric guitar, vibes 
John Convertino – drums 
Jacob Valenzuela – trumpet 
Paul Niehaus – pedal steel

Written and produced by Dean Owens.
