Le Pop Musik turn their attention to Southern Arizona with this vibrant portrait of the Tucson scene. Somewhere between Mambo, Country & Western and Americana, a new desert sound has been blossoming in Arizona. Tucson Songs contains 18 very fresh examples, with 90% being previously unreleased., including two exclusive tracks by Giant Sand and Calexico. Le Pop were turned onto this scene by Tucson's French-born chanteuse Marianne Dissard, who has toured Europe with many of musicians featured here. Researching the rich local scene ended up in Le Pop putting together a sampler concept compilation. During the ensuing treasure hunt, Le Pop got a lot of help navigating the scene from Joey Burns (Calexico) and ber-knowledgeable local radio host Dr. Dan Twelker. Tracks also from: Golden Boots, Gabriel Sullivan, Silver Thread Trio & Francioz Breut!
