This is the second album by The Tumbling Tumbleweeds, the quartet who won top honors from the Academy of Western Artists and the Western Music Association after the release of their self-titled debut album in 2008, and who are currently nominated for the 2010 Western Music Association Outstanding Entertainer-Group Award!
In this new musical offering, The Tumbling Tumbleweeds include not one but five of their original tunes, “The Mighty Santa Fe,””Lazin’ Down the Trail,” “Sleepin’ on a Mountain,” “California” and “So Now You’ve Gone,” each co-written and arranged by The Tumbling Tumbleweeds themselves. As with their debut album, The Tumbling Tumbleweeds are accompanied once more on Blaze Across the West by featured players Jean Sudbury on fiddle and Smokin’ Dan Dungan on bass.
"We feel strongly about continuing to present the classic songs of the West that folks have come to expect from us. We also want to share our own thoughts and feelings about what the West means to us. That's why we included a selection of both classic and original songs on this album," says Tumbleweed Rob of The Tumbling Tumbleweeds, "We also wanted to go for a more lavish sound on this album and we are thrilled to have some of our friends in the Western Music world join us on this recording to add to our sound."
The result of these collaborations has produced dynamic tracks such as, the swing tune, “The Mighty Santa Fe,” featuring Western Music pal Ric Steinke of Open Range on Steel Guitar, “Sleepin’ on a Mountain” featuring Grammy Consideration, “Harmonicowboy” Gary Allegretto on Harmonica, “California,” a rollicking ranchera styled homage to the group’s home state featuring Conjunto Norteno Accordion Player, Otono Lujan of Los Pochos and a Medley of swing classics, “You’re Getting Tired of Me” and “You Waited Too Long” connected with an original tune written by The Tumbling Tumbleweeds called, “So Now You’ve Gone,” making up the Lost Love Medley featuring Ric Steinke once more on Steel Guitar.
