Susan Santos Announces New Album ‘Sonora’ And Shares New Single ‘Hot Rod Lady’
Based in Madrid, the celebrated self-taught guitarist Susan Santos announces her new album Sonora set to release April 5, 2024. Her sixth album, Sonora is based on the desert and all it’s known for. The hot-handed guitar player, singer and songwriter shares her new single “Hot Rod Lady” that screams gritty guitar and catchy riffs. About a female who is most at home in a hot rod driving down the highway at warped speed, she sings of freedom and the feeling that driving in expansive spaces allows. With plenty of swagger, Santos presses the pedal to the metal with her guitar chops too. “I’m so thirsty I could lose my mind,” she sings, and you sense power and determination in her voice.
Sonora is the album of the desert, and the desert people. The songs tell stories ranging from survival, thirst, outlaws, escape, and freedom against a backdrop of scorpions, lizards, and roadrunners. And of course the dry heat and wind. The video was filmed at Joshua Tree National Park in California.
All songs on Sonora were composed by Susan Santos. Recorded as a trio, the album features David Salvador (bass) and Juli El Lento (drums). Santos sang lead vocals and played electric, baritone, and acoustic guitars, banjo, and theremin. The album was recorded at Black Betty Studios, Madrid and produced by Santos and Jose Nortes.
