The term “Americana” was practically invented to describe The Band of Heathens, a rock n roll band based in Austin, TX. "Duende", the title of The Band of Heathens’ fifth studio album (and eighth overall), marks their tenth anniversary as a group and sits among the other great recording projects The Band of Heathens have accomplished over the years. Americana stalwarts The Band of Heathens recently went into their hometown studio in Austin, deciding to record their own version of the classic Ray Charles album A Message From The People. In a time where the downtrodden need a voice again, the Heathens have delivered the message paying homage to one of the most important voices in American song history.
