Album Notes

Texas native Hearne rocketed into the vibrant Northern New Mexico music scene from the late 1970's Austin music scene and immediately joined forces with numerous other musical luminaries including Michael Martin Murphey and Tish Hinojosa, becoming an integral part of Murphey's band. Hearne's original songs have been recorded by Jerry Jeff Walker, Gary P. Nunn, (Lesson to Be Learned from Love) Johnny Rodriguez , Bill and Bonnie Hearne (New Mexico Rain).

Although perhaps best known as the leader of the eclectic dance band South by Southwest and as a solo performer, Hearne is also currently leading the Sight & Sound band. Whether performing solo or leading a band he never plays to less than a full house and the dance floor is always packed.

One of the reasons that people flock to the venues and dance at Hearne's solo performances is his guitar mastery. His playing sounds like he has two right hands.
