Motel Arizona’s fiery-eyed and satin-voiced cowgirls,
Hap and Squeak, hit the new frontier with a holler
back to the golden age of western song and cowboys of
the silver screen, along with their trusty pard'ner, Smiley.
Rounding up the herd of classics like “Tumbling Tumbleweeds”,
“Don’t Fence Me In”, “Along the Navajo Trail” and “Cow Cow Boogie”,
this vintage western trio saddle up the bass fiddle and warm up their
yodels just in time for a traditional western revue.
Hailing from the heart of the wild west, Motel Arizona
aims to tell the story of the lonely life of cattle
drivers on the dry and dusty plains through rich
imagery of the southwest and the crossbreed of Texas
Swing and Bluegrass music -- following in the
footsteps of early 20th century greats such as Patsy
Montana, Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Rex Allen and
Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys.
Yee-haw!
Before Smiley joined this wagon train, these female yodelers (formerly known as Heather August and Anamieke Carrozza) performed their signature song 'I Want To Be A Cowboy's Sweetheart' with legendary multi-instrumentalist extraordinaire John McEuen of the NItty Gritty Dirt Band in the finale of rock band Phish's US Tour in the Aladdin Theater in Las Vegas (December 6, 1996). Other guests included Les Claypool and Larry LaLonde of Primus. A 3-CD/DVD boxed set of that performance was released in stores November 20, 2007 and is now available in stores and at http://drygoods.phish.com. . .Yee-haw!!
