 The only reason guys like these are still there putting out music is for the love of the music and of the people that share that love with them. It's music that comes from where they come from -- both from the high desert and from the mountain landscape of their home and from the background and experiences of their lives -- sort of a laid-back - high-energy - gentle-giant - old-blue-buffalo - grama-grassy - cowboy-folky - shake-a-leg - with-a-smile sort of thing.
A rift is a split or a gap, sort of like the Rio Grande Rift that we all live on or around. But this music is more about bridging gaps. For The Rifters, the music is what ties all the different times and places together.
