NASHVILLE, TN (Burrito Deluxe Official Website) - 'It was midnight at a red light in Nowhere U.S.A.' So begins the irresistible debut single from country- rockers Burrito Deluxe's upcoming third album, DISCIPLES OF THE TRUTH (Luna Chica Records). The track, Midnight At A Red Light, is a rollicking number from the pen of Americana cult hero George Hamilton V and will be released to international radio programmers June 1 via the Country Hotdisc compilation.

'We were looking for a song that was edgy but upbeat, with fun, tongue-in-cheek lyrics,' says Carlton Moody, guitarist and lead vocalist. 'I remembered 'Midnight at a Red Light,' which I used to play with George in Europe on the big stage. I asked him to come into the studio and play it, and immediately everyone in the band said, 'Yeah, we've gotta do this song!'

Midnight At A Red Light relates the cautionary tale of a naïve local boy who meets his match at the hands of a worldly woman who's 'just passing through.' The refrain deftly combines the titles of two classic songs in summarizing the plight of this hapless victim of love (or a treasonable facsimile thereof): 'She was born to be wild, and he was born to lose.' Like the young man in the song, Burrito Deluxe throws caution to the wind in laying down an infectious and organic groove that conjures up the thrill of a smalltown summer night at the intersection of innocence and lust. With its potent mix of drive and twang, the song is a natural for country playlists ranging from traditional to Americana/alt.country to contemporary.

Burrito Deluxe, a seasoned group whose members' musical successes span four decades, is made up of lead vocalist and guitarist Carlton Moody (The Moody Brothers); electric guitarist and vocalist Walter Egan (Magnet and Steel, Gram Parsons' Hearts on Fire); bassist Jeff 'Stick' Davis (Amazing Rhythm Aces, Brooklyn Cowboys); keyboardist Richard Bell (Janis Joplin, The Band); and drummer Bryan Owings (Buddy & Julie Miller, Delbert McClinton).

DISCIPLES OF THE TRUTH, produced by Greg Archilla (Neil Young, Santana, Matchbox 20), is due out later this summer. A live concert DVD is being filmed in Nashville on June 3.
