Little Black Horse plays out like a commissioned soundtrack to the Preacher graphic novel series: dusty, drunk on its own channeled misanthropy, and probably very offensive to Republicans.

'En Este Momento' is Very Smoky Indeednew

Keith Marks Keeps Funky Flute Playing Alivenew
Keith Marks is a very accomplished flautist in his own right. His playing reminds me of a Lalo Schifrin movie soundtrack or Chris Wood, who played with Steve Winwood and Dave Mason of the band Traffic.
