Dollars and Dimes, the fifth studio record from Austin, Texas-based songwriter Owen Temple, is a collection of eleven songs about people making their way through hard times in the different regions of North America.
The project includes songs written by Owen Temple and co-writes with Adam Carroll, Gordy Quist (of the Band of Heathens), Scott Nolan and others.
A concept album focused on regional incarnations of continent-wide drama, Dollars and Dimes was produced by multi-instrumentalist Gabe Rhodes (Billy Joe Shaver, Kimmie Rhodes). Eleven portraits of characters and the places they inhabit – backed by a top notch band made up of Hunt Sales (Iggy Pop, David Bowie) on drums and Will Sexton (Terry Allen, Randy Weeks) on guitar and bass, and Rhodes on guitar and keys.
