Album 'Ballad of a Thin Line Man' by Giant Sand

Giant Sand is an American band from Tucson, Arizona, led by singer-songwriter Howe Gelb. Emerging from the early-’80s Giant Sandworms, they blended desert atmospheres with Americana, country, blues, punk edge and lo‑fi experimentation. Their debut Valley of Rain (1985) set a jagged tone, followed by landmarks like Ballad of a Thin Line Man, Swerve, Chore of Enchantment, Is All Over ... the Map and Provisions. Alumni include Joey Burns and John Convertino, later of Calexico.
