Liner notes[]
El Camino
Hace muchas décadas, yo haciendo autostop desde mi infancia en casa de Texas a mi nueva casa en San Francisco. El dramático paisaje désertico me fascinó, y decidí entonces que el viaje estaba maduro para la interpretación. Por desgracia, la música que escribí no capturó ese viaje y me abandonó la idea hace mucho tiempo. Así que esto no es que la música. Pero me parece que sea conveniente para pretender que es.[1]
