Search - Owen Temple :: Mountain Home

Mountain Home, the sixth studio record from Austin, Texas-based songwriter Owen Temple, is a collection of ten songs about eccentric characters living extraordinary lives in small towns and on the fringes of big cities. The characters are all on edge- on the verge of freedom, catastrophe, and hope- and the songs tell of strange happenings in rural landscapes past and present.

Recorded with producer Gabriel Rhodes, the album has the feel of a live performance with stellar contributions from Charlie Sexton (Arc Angels, Bob Dylan) on baritone guitar and bass, Bukka Allen (The Bodeans, Terry Allen) on keyboards, Tommy Spurlock (Delbert McClinton, Rodney Crowell) on pedal steel, and drummer Rick Richards (Ray Wylie Hubbard, Hayes Carll).

The project includes songs written by Temple and co-writes with Adam Carroll, Scott Nolan, and Gordy Quist (of The Band of Heathens). Temple's love of folk, blues, and bluegrass shines through in the arrangements and the playing of his compadres.
