The Desert Mothers (http://thedesertmothers.com) were formed during a long run in the twilight near Joshua Tree, California by songwriter/producer Spencer Critchley (http://spencercritchley.com). As coyotes sang in the shadow of a distant mesa, a white dog appeared from nowhere to run alongside, and after 10 miles or so the first Desert Mothers album, Nowhere Motel, had begun to take shape.

The title track, “Nowhere Motel”, finds the singer stranded on a desert highway next to a ruined sign of an ark and a rainbow advertising rooms for the night. Shimmering up out of the heat come the sounds of a steel guitar and a lonely voice.

Appearing in “Nowhere Motel”:

Gina Fant-Saez: vocals
Bruce Kaphan: steel guitar, dobro
Spencer Critchley: guitar
Gene Rabbai: electric piano
Byron House: fretless bass
Pat Mastellotto: drums
Tom Roady: shaker, caxixi, dumbek, silver solder hands
