Last Ride journeys out toward that stoned and immaculate perimeter where reality blurs between the future and now, where truth and fantasy meld and the desert expanse of the mind begins to resemble the great celestial horizon. It’s here we find pedal steel maestro Joe Harvey-Whyte and psych-country vibe lord Bobby Lee, scouring these far reaches for the purest elements of their cosmic choogle—two sonic cartographers conjuring a landscape straight outta the technicolor acid western playing perpetually on the back of your eyelids, where nothing is as it seems, and everything’s right where it needs to be.

The Lagniappe Sessions :: Bobby Lee
Cosmic country rambler Bobby Lee takes the controls and sets a course for the heart of the cosmos with these covers of songs by Don Williams, Fred Eaglesmith, and funk legends Cymande.
Bobby Lee :: Endless Skyways
Endless Skyways finds Lee having finally reached the horizon he’d been headed toward, only to take a flying leap beyond it. At just nine tracks, the album wastes no time. The band achieves liftoff straight away with “Reds for a Blue Planet,” powered by Lee’s patented homebrew of twang and choogle. Just like that, we’re lost in the ozone and our heads are feeling a little lighter.
Bobby Lee :: Origin Myths
Sonic cartographer Bobby Lee expands the map of his improvisational soundscapes on Origin Myths, his new album and follow-up to last year’s Shakedown in Slabtown. Recorded straight to four track with no subsequent tampering, the album embraces what label Tompkins Square describes as “The Bob Ross school of philosophy … imperfections allowed to stand; knowing that nothing is ever truly finished.”
