From the 2026 album Alien Soul, Austin songwriter and artist Robert Jason Becker delivers a soaring rock anthem for the open road.
Celebrating the freedom and excitement of travel, Desert Road features slick and distorted blues-rock guitar lines, and a beautifully passionate and catchy hook resolve, as we’re led into a realm inspired by the crossover points between seventies blues-rock and pop.
Featuring short and soulful verses, with gritty basslines and guitar licks adding power and precision, Desert Road is both intense and evocative at volume – the perfect kind of Black Crowes-style summertime rock track to crank up the volume to as you drive away from the chaos of modern life.
Specifically, Becker wrote Desert Road about exploring the ghost towns of New Mexico, and the exhilaration he felt amidst the tempo and anonymity of that journey.
Blending nostalgia with something beautifully original, the vocal style and smooth fluidity of Becker’s voice adds a clear twist of identity and soul to the process, and the result is an instantly distinct but timeless release, from an album that continues to connect and engage with listeners throughout ten original songs.
“Feeling right at home under the stars above the Desert Road!”
