With a sound that recalls the lyrical storytelling of Leonard Cohen and the dynamic vocal shifts of Roger Waters, “Tequila and a Shotgun” builds from soft, reflective verses into bursts of fuzzy guitars and raw rock n’ roll emotion. The song is a personal tribute to his lifelong wife, who passed away from cancer. It blends classic 60s and 70s rock drama with modern vulnerability, resulting in a heartfelt and haunting experience.
After stepping away from songwriting for many years, Joseph H Dean returned to music in the wake of personal tragedy. Following the loss of his wife, he found himself drawn back to the only form of expression he truly knew. “Tequila and a Shotgun” is the first original song he has written since her passing. It captures the pain, the confusion, and the longing that come with losing a spouse, while also questioning life, love, and memory through music.
You can hear “Tequila and a Shotgun” every few hours on the A-List Playlist. It is also featured daily as a special POWERPLAY at 5:30 PM London UK time for the next month.
