ABOUT CHUCK:

Chuck Leah is an old-soul Texas troubadour with a voice like a distant stare.

On new album Band of Ghosts, released Oct. 16, he bottles genre-straddling, wanderlust Americana with innate musicality and startling sincerity. Leah describes Band of Ghosts, his seventh album, as “a stroll from Texas to Louisiana.” But it takes a meandering route through the Arizona desert (“I Lost Her in Tucson”), Hollywood (“LAX”), and Nashville (“Memphis”). Delicately tense violins usher in standout album opener “Eugenie,” a profound tale of longing steeped in New Orleans street imagery. “I lit my Camel in the rain,” Leah sings, his timbre textured like crumpled parchment. “And it hit my body like sugar cane.” Elsewhere, the driving yet breezy “I Lost Her in Tucson” wistfully recounts the pursuit of fleeting love, while rousing closer “Azure” is a worldly mélange of country, Cajun and blues propelled by robust rock drumming. The sounds and snapshots from a lifetime of travel palpably inform Band of Ghosts, both through overt lyrical brushstrokes and in its less tangible, genre-straddling aura. In just nine semi-autobiographical songs, Leah traverses folk-rock, country, Cajun, jazz, blues, Tejano, MexiCali and rock ‘n’ roll without ever letting the stitching show. More info at chuckleah.com
