“Tequila and a Shotgun” is the powerful new single from Joseph H Dean, blending heartfelt lyricism with a cool, melodic rock edge. With echoes of Leonard Cohen‘s poetic storytelling and the expressive dynamics of Roger Waters, the song unfolds from quiet, introspective verses into waves of fuzzy guitars and raw rock ‘n’ roll energy. It’s a moving tribute to Dean’s lifelong partner, who passed away from cancer, capturing the emotional weight of grief while embracing the drama of classic 60s and 70s rock. After many years away from songwriting, Joseph H Dean returned to music in the aftermath of personal loss. The passing of his wife led him back to the only language he felt truly fluent in—song. “Tequila and a Shotgun“ is his first original composition since her death, offering an intimate and honest reflection on love, loss, and the search for meaning. It is as much a lament as it is a cathartic release, resonating with anyone who has known deep sorrow and the power of music to heal. Dean is already working on more new material, so watch this space—there’s much more to come.
