Duendes by Quaker City Night Hawks

Season 1 - Episode 1 - Legend of the Fall

Episode 1 of Ride brings the audience back in time a year to the big rodeo show in Boulder, where we see legendary bull-rider Austin McMurray take his place atop a bucking bull ahead of the 8-second ride. Quaker City Night Hawks’ gravelly country rock song “Duendes” pulls us right into the action as Austin wraps his bull rope, tightens his helmet, and prepares for the competition.

About the Band:
Quaker City Night Hawks are a rock and blues group from Forth Worth, Texas, with a gritty, desert, southern sound. The group has spent the last few years traveling the country in support of their Lightning Rod Records debut, an album that mixed the greasy strut of 1970s rock with doses of down-and-dirty Texas blues, science fiction, and Bible Belt boogie. The groups’ members are Texans by birth, but their music has whipped up its own geography with a spacey, southern stomp.

When the McMurrays and their friends relax later that night by the campfire with drinks, Missy and Cash spend time catching up now that he's back from active duty.

Later in the episode, the McMurray clan ventures to a bar for some dancing and two-stepping, and Tuff shows off his singing and guitar playing with two songs from his band. Tuff belts out the upbeat, country-rockin’ track “Cornfields Or Cadillacs”, while Missy and Val catch up over drinks, Val gets Cash out on the dance floor, and Gus asks Missy to join him for a dance. Cash later asks Tuff to play a slower song to dance with Missy to, and he and the band delivers with the swoony “Just Wanted You To Know”. Cash and Missy sway while they discuss their feelings for one another and her potentially leaving town, and soon Missy storms off, overcome with emotion.
