Available everywhere May 17th on Station House Records, Travel Lightmarks a new era for the Moonlighters. In addition to bringing in the New Orleans songwriter Anders Osborne to produce the record, The South Austin Moonlighters manage to connect with each other like never before, unpacking sometimes-heavy subject matter in grin-inducing multi-part harmony; and when Lonnie Trevino (bass), Chris Beall (guitar), Phil Hurley (guitar), and Daniel James (drums) share vocal duties, it's one hell of a blend. Today, The Boot premiered the first single from Travel Light, “Girl From Texas”, a song written by Hurley; he calls it a “homage to the girl that stole my heart and saved my life.” Fans can get an early listen here.
