With insight of where this country is headed today if we don’t pull our heads out of our asses and start learing from our mistakes.

Not only is Dust Bowl Hangover an album written to open the minds to the world around us, but infused with humor and pure outlaw style of Red Eye Gravy. Even with the way The Dirty Okie designed the story from track one to track sixteen; each song was created to stand alone as well.

The first single “Lonely Boy” embodies the entire theme of DBH with a fierce rhetoric of never learning from our mistakes and that the poor man is still feeling the nation’s wrath of stupidity. The album will take you through a story of reflection and confinement to our redundant ways from The Great Depression into the Great Recession. DBH consists of songs filled with pride for living in a refined unmaterialistic simple life and stabs at the fat cats of modern day society. The album also gives homage to times of past with their own take on gun fighter
