Ranger Hotel

Ranger Motel, the new release from the Red Dirt Rangers delivers the close-to-the-earth blend of acoustic and electric music that typifies Red Dirt. It should be noted that Ranger Motel was the final disc recorded at Tulsa's legendary Church Studio by Steve Ripley, leader of the multi-platinum selling group the Tractors. If Ranger Motel sounds at times like the Great Lost Sir Douglas Quintet album that's because it features keyboardist Augie Meyers, a key architect of Sir Doug's sound. Ranger Motel isn't just the best disc the Red Dirt Rangers have ever made, it's a living an vibrant snapshot of what Red Dirt music is all about - it's past, it's present, and it's future.
