Cinematic slide guitar meets ambient Americana in this instrumental journey across scorched landscapes and fading memories. Inspired by Ry Cooder’s Paris, Texas and the sparse storytelling of desert film scores, Desert Noir blends minimalism, grit, and beauty into 10 atmospheric pieces that feel like scenes from a lost Western.

A song where the initial concept came to me 30 years ago in 1995. This is the quintessential southern rock, jam band, country-fried song made for driving.

--

I’m rolling down the highway
Going stateside
I’m leaving all my troubles
Far behind 

The water keeps on rolling
Along the riverside
I keep pushing on, until I find
A little piece of mind

I’m peelin' off the ice from the windows
Like the wind I go where it blows
And the salt along the highway keeps me holdin' on
So be there, I will make it, when I do, I'm gonna get to you

I left behind the city
And the street lights
I’m going where the moon will shine
Keep me warm at night

I’m waiting for the tide to rise
And carry me away
To that sunny island
Where my thoughts lead me astray 

I’m peelin' off the ice from the windows
Like the wind I go where it blows
And the salt along the highway keeps me holdin' on
So be there, I will make it, when I do, I'm gonna get to you

Yesterday’s a different song
Tomorrow I don’t know
But right now everything’s OK 
And I hope the feeling grows

We all walk along our paths
Some we never see
Just give it time, the sun will shine
Let the music set you free

I’m peelin' off the ice from the windows
Like the wind I go where it blows
And the salt along the highway keeps me holdin' on
So be there, I will make it, when I do, I'm gonna get to you

Dressed In Sorrow

A slow-crawling, smoke-thick Swamp Blues sermon on faith, patriarchy, and institutional rot. Fingerpicked electric guitar slides through the muck while the vocal delivers each line like it’s carved into cypress bark—measured, resolute, and ready to burn the pulpit down. There’s no shouting here, just a gospel of quiet refusal. The steam rises. The judgment simmers. And the truth doesn't knock—it waits, glowing red, in the waterline.

A Pillar of Salt

A Pillar of Salt (Swamp Blues)

written by O'Neal Dover & Willis Holder
performed by Willis & Amy Holder
mixed by Bob Wheeler

No matter what, no matter when
I'll be a friend
Oh yes indeed, whenever you call
Whatever you need

I've got your back, never forget

I'll follow through
Just say the word
I'll speak the truth

The time away, years apart
Where did they go? 
Why does it happen? Will it again? 
Nobody knows

But I hope that it won't

All that I can do is promise to
Never make
Everyday excuses

This could be amazing
Or it could drive us crazy
This could be perfection
Or we can just reject it

Can't you see?
This could be so amazing

(slide solo)

Calling it back, calling it out
Giving you props
Something I could not and I regret
But that's in the past

No need to rehash

What we really need is right ahead
'Cause we ain't dead
No, at least not yet 

The time away, years apart
Where did they go? 
Why does it happen? Will it again? 
Nobody knows

But I hope that it won't

All that I can do is promise to
Never make
Everyday excuses

This could be amazing
Or it could drive us crazy
This could be perfection
Or we can just reject it

Can't you see?
This could be so amazing

(slide outro)

this could be so amazing

A New Trail to Ride

Wrote a song about female thighs. I like them.

Hound Of Thighs

“Nothing for You - Rmx” transforms the original into a vibrant electro pop track, driven by pulsing synths, a steady dance groove, and atmospheric textures. It blends modern synth pop with subtle indie electronic vibes, creating a catchy yet dreamy remix that’s perfect for late-night drives or introspective dance floors.

Performed, composed, recorded, mixed, and mastered by François R. Caron (guitar & bass)

The Push (ft. Serge Stavila)


Went back into the vaults and remixed the original Close the Door from 2014 and remixed the 2021 version from the Hard Rocking Steam Rolled album and released it as an ep, both are smoking versions and different from one another, the original 2014 version is more of the Classic Hard Rock aspect and the 2021 is more of the Harder Rock aspect with more instrumentation throughout.  Mixed and mastered by me EH, stay tuned for much more to come with the remixing and mastering of the Proud and Loud album most current.

Close the Door (2014)

Close the Door (2021)

A punchy kick drum and twangy electric guitar set a rootsy tone, joined by expressive slide guitar and gritty acoustic strums, The verses lean on tight alt-rock grooves, swelling at choruses with lush harmonies.

Before The Silence

“Finally Mine” is a slow-burning, soul-stirring track that blends the grit of desert blues with the emotional depth of alt-country. Built on a 6/8 shuffle groove and a raw, gravel-edged vocal, the song moves from sparse acoustic textures to a powerful, gospel-tinged crescendo. With ambient slide guitar, upright bass, and a cinematic sense of space, it captures both vulnerability and strength.

Written during a season of personal transformation, the song reflects Lori DeAnn’s journey of letting go, standing firm, and rediscovering identity. It’s not just a reflection—it’s a declaration of survival and self-worth. Inspired by the emotional honesty of artists like Chris Stapleton, “Finally Mine” is both intimate and anthemic, offering a voice to anyone who’s had to walk through fire to find themselves again.

Hey, I’m Lori DeAnn—a songwriter and vocalist from Fort Worth, Texas. I started writing songs during a time of big personal change, when I realized that the poetry I’d been writing for years was really just music waiting to happen. That’s when everything clicked, and I found my voice again—literally and creatively.

I don’t play an instrument, but I do sing, and I’ve always had a strong feel for how music works—how rhythm, layers, and emotion come together to tell a story. I’m inspired by all kinds of sounds: country, blues, 80s rock, pop—basically anything with a great beat and something real to say.

My songs are all about emotion—falling in love, falling apart, finding yourself again, and working through grief. Music has always helped me say the things I couldn’t quite put into words, and I hope my songs do that for someone else too. Whether it’s a stripped-down vocal or a track full of gospel harmonies and grit, I’m all about truth, healing, and connection.

Sundrown is the sound of the desert at dusk—cinematic, haunted, and dust-covered. Slide guitar leads the way through sparse landscapes of rhythm, melody, and shadow. Drawing from the blues, post-rock, and Western film scores, Sundrown blends raw emotion with atmospheric storytelling.
