Brent Amaker and The Rodeo - Vaquero (2025)

“Vaquero” blends Brent Amaker and The Rodeo’s classic country sound with rich Mexican musical traditions. Recorded in Mexico City, it incorporates mariachi instrumentation, Latin rhythms, and the band’s signature Western performance art. Brent Amaker’s restrained, melancholic vocals contrast with vibrant brass and rhythmic arrangements, creating an emotional push-and-pull. The album extends the group’s narrative-driven style while embracing cultural exchange and the live energy of Mexico’s music scene.
