Austin psychedelic country-roots duo The Lonesome Heroes released an album this year called Daydream Western. Quite frankly, the title couldn’t be more fitting.

This is exactly what a daydream would sound like, the perfect soundtrack to accompany you on that long stretch of highway that has no defined destination, when you’re alone with your mind and lost in your thoughts. The album is a rich blend of acoustic guitar, steel, multi-layered textures and vocals from songwriters Rich Russell and Landry McMeans that sweep you right up into that daydream. This is the the soundscape that occurs when indie rock and country artfully cross paths.

Be sure to see The Lonesome Heroes play Thursday night at The Continental Club, 1315 S. Congress Ave. It’s a great bill that includes Dallas band The O’s and Austin’s Monarchs. Show time is around 9 p.m. Recommended.
