Backyard Biergarten - Episode 4 - Looking For Signs
For the shooting of the most recent episode from the Backyard Biergarten, it was overcast skies and thunderstorms rolling in, but I persevered, revealing remarkable character strength, admirable work ethic, etc.
So here is a video of me drinking a beer from a camouflage can and singing a new song that involves thunderstorms, called "Looking For Signs."
"Temple’s songs are sophisticated and enlightening, offering a view of the Texas west that’s akin to Dave Alvin’s meditations on mid-century California. He writes with a folksinger’s eye, observing intimate, interior details of every day life, and painting big, mythological sketches..."
Hyperbolium
"Owen Temple takes on the job of Texas troubadour with grave intent. Where his previous disc explored the darker side of the American dream, Mountain Home focuses on small Texas towns and the eccentrics inhabiting them... One has to admire Temple's focus on his craft, which he continues to burnish in smart and tuneful ways."
Austin Chronicle
"A chronicler of America's darker side, Temple's sixth studio album focuses on down-at-heel hustlers, broken farmers, corrupt politicians and general bad eggs. Behind him a crack band, including sometime Bob Dylan sideman Charlie Sexton, play a laid-back country groove as wide open as a cattle range and dusty as an unswept porch."
