The Shakin' Apostles - Tucson (1995)

The Shakin' Apostles' 1995 album, Tucson, is a conceptual rock opera in the alternative country genre. The record combines traditional American roots music, elements of Tex-Mex, and hard-hitting guitar rock.
Music critics praised the album for its genre diversity and lack of filler tracks.
The sound ranges from aggressive rock solos with screaming guitars on "Devil's Hand" to the soft, tremolo-influenced Mexican motifs of "Ciudad Acuña."
Despite the risky concept album format for country music, the band managed to create a cohesive roots rock work with strong hooks.
