Howe Gelb, born in 1956, is a singer-songwriter, musician, and record producer based in Tucson, Arizona. With a career spanning several decades, Gelb has established himself as a prominent figure in the music industry. He is known for his unique blend of folk, rock, and alternative country sounds.

Gelb's musical journey began at an early age and was greatly influenced by his brother Ricky Gelb. Over the years, he has collaborated with various artists and bands such as *Giant Sand*, *Willard Grant Conspiracy*, *Jim White*, *OP8*, *Lambchop*, and many more.

His distinctive style and soulful lyrics have earned him a dedicated fan base worldwide. Gelb's discography includes numerous critically acclaimed albums that showcase his versatility as both a songwriter and performer. Whether it's through heartfelt ballads or energetic rock anthems, Gelb never fails to captivate audiences with his raw talent.

This deluxe re-issue includes ‘Dust Bowl’ on vinyl for the very first time, with the records housed in a gatefold sleeve featuring updated artwork and liner notes. ‘The Coincidentalist’, originally released in 2013, features a raft of friends and collaborators including Bonnie Prince Billy, Andrew Bird, M. Ward, Steve Shelley, and Jason Lytle of Grandaddy with John Parrish on mixing duties. Ever the focal point of Giant Sand and Gelb releases, the Arizona Desert serves as a key inspiration for the record, animating the baron landscape with stories of those that have navigated them. Praise for the release was not short, with AllMusic proclaiming that it’s “one of Gelb's most realized efforts; despite its relaxed, airy presentation, it's musically and lyrically provocative, as poetic, strange, and mysterious as the desert itself." The accompanying collection ‘Dust Bowl’ is a personal sketchbook of songs, a more stripped back set than it’s counterpart. Featuring everything from the country blues of ‘Porch Banjo’ and ‘John Deere’, to off-kilter piano ballads like ‘The Old Overrated’ and ‘Reality Or Not’ and the deconstructed desert pop on ‘Forever And A Day’ and the fragile ‘Man On A String’. ‘Dust Bowl’ is an insider’s view of Howe’s songwriting craft, a unique insight into the man himself.
