Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers
"Americano"

Released in 2004

Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers are a band from Arizona. This album was my introduction to the band and I'll never forget the first time I saw the band play in concert. They packed The Saint and everyone in the crowd knew every lyric to an album that had just come out. It was like seeing Springsteen and not knowing who he was. Meanwhile, this album is among my top ten for the 2000s.

Roger Clyne formerly was in the band, The Refreshments.
