West of Texas is a Honky-Tonk band serving up modern-day country music that boasts a classic sound likened straight from the 70’s.. fronted by Jerry Zinn. Based in Los Angeles, CA, the band recently dropped Hot Motel Nights – their anticipated second record – and made it clear there’s no room for a sophomore slump here.
Produced by Ted Russell Kamp and Jerry Zinn, Hot Motel Nights kicks off with Wall of Memories, a track that sets the tone for the 10-song collection and never lets up.
West of Texas is a finely tuned machine when it comes to crafting songs for the heartbroken. Hot Hotel Nights taps into our universal need for melancholy – whether you’re navigating through your own squall of emotions or simply reveling in the raw, emotional ride of others. Zinn is a master within this alcove, delivering every aching note with the weight of a thousand broken hearts.
As is often the case and the epitome of Meanwhile in Music, some truly incredible artists, bands, and albums are, for one reason or another, overlooked – but Hot Motel Nights should never be one of them.
Each track satisfies that deep country music craving, and leaves your lips wet with the smoky warmth of your favorite whiskey and a bittersweet ache in your soul.
