2005 - Patricia Vonne's sophomore album opens with "Joe's Gone Ridin'," which starts off in a soft mode before each of her bandmates pitches in and takes this train-themed tune into a chugging roots rock pattern inspired by Joe Ely. Singing about being a damsel in distress, she sounds like a revved-up version of an early Rosanne Cash as the chorus keeps things rolling along nicely. Although there is a Tex-Mex hue to some songs, fans of Steve Earle would fall in love with the midtempo, solid, and pretty "Texas Burning," which shows the best of both worlds: Vonne's strong voice and the equally strong musicianship behind her. However, she veers deeply into the sexy yet mellow "La Gitana de Triana," a pure Spanish tune that brings to mind Linda Ronstadt.
