Nashville, TN (PRWEB) November 5, 2008 -- Texasee has always been more than a musical album to Luke Powers. It has been a mission. The college professor wanted a concept--to create a fictional space that occasionally crossed the border into reality. He wanted to share this place with the world. He enlisted his musical partner Tommy Spurlock, a Texan who was a little skeptical about the whole idea. "What's wrong with Texas? Or what's wrong with Tennessee?" Spurlock demanded. "I don't see any good putting the two of them together?!" But Dr. Powers persisted. How could he explain to Spurlock that he wanted to make an album as good an one of William Faulkner's books? An album like "The Sound and the Fury." And if Spurlock couldn't get it, could anyone else? Dr. Powers wanted to create, like Faulkner, his own Yoknapatawpha County. His Texasee is a no-man's modeled on the moody mindscape of T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land." A place full of crazy violence, meaningless gestures, elliptical narratives bordering, fragmentary insights that will not cohere--but not without the possibility of some rare moment of transcendence, some higher truth that redeems the badlands. |
