Lee Gallagher and the Hallelujah released their second full-length record L.A. Yesterday earlier this summer and with just over three months until 2021 it sits firmly on top of Hobo on the Tracks’ album of the year. Recorded at engineer and guitarist Jason Soda’s Palomino Sound studio Gallagher’s breezy, classic cosmic rock and roll is just beautiful from start to finish. Every track is "stand-out" but if there is one song is to illustrate Gallagher's music then Highway 10 is the one. And now there is a video directed by the acclaimed Morgans Brother out there. Suitably cosmic and trippy it is a sheer delight conjuring up a road trip to the desert. But don't take my word have a look and listen. It really is THAT good.
Meanwhile here's what Gallagher has to say about the song.
"This record will always be linked to Los Angeles in my mind. From the initial somewhat daunting decision to not record in San Francisco, to using some different musicians, to the places I would crash after being in the studio all day and night, and the drives up and down the 5 or the 101. Highway 10 goes out from LA to the Mojave desert. I spend a lot of time in Joshua Tree so I’ve driven these roads countless times. The album title comes from a line in this song. Kirby’s piano really burns bright on the end of this song and I love the almost Dickey Betts-like guitar licks that Jason is peppering in.”

The Salton Sea was created when in 1905 the Colorado river burst its banks and dumped its guts into the Imperial Valley. This went on for a solid two years before the hole was plugged. And now the…
