Search - Box 13 :: Death and Texas

An old rancher feels the approach of death "in his bones." A wallflower society wife makes an extreme culinary statement at the expense of her unfaithful husband. A globetrotting, world-party-crashing pop dilettante's culture-sampling has left him emotionally stateless. A life examined too late is found to have not been fully lived - and a son realizes he was the product not of passion but of loveless convenience. These are just some of the stories and characters brought to life in "Death and Texas." Working in the tradition of Texas songwriters from Townes Van Zandt to Timbuk 3, Box 13 explore a world of lovers, losers, and loners deep in the state of the heart. From the Archies-meet-Byrds jingle jangle of "Melody" to the neo-Dixieland horns of "Let it Go" to the crunchy riffs of "Crash and Burn", Box 13 employ a wide range of musical styles to create the right tone for each of these story-songs.
