    ...
    Friends and neighbors, Miss Noeline Hofmann. Cowgirl, songwriter, biggest heart on the prairie, has written a song for rancher resilience. Her early years of working in the plains of Alberta as a ranch hand near the Saskatchewan river was such an inspiration to her that she couldn’t keep these beautiful songs locked up. While dealing with the everyday hardships of being a cowhand, Noeline listened to the stories of her co-workers and bosses. Expressing the everyday gambles and trials of working the land. That’s where “Purple Gas,” the anthem or love note to ranching culture, was born. A song that will live in infamy with the hope that it never becomes a lament for the most under-appreciated job in the west.
    Thank you to Maggie Geis for helping us produce this piece and being our Canadian production wrangler in a land we barely knew.

      The gems on vhs and western af recordings are like that, they pick up the subtleties that the studio filters out or something. Always the best versions of songs, besides unamplified, in person, these guys get it the best.

    "Purple Gas" is a love letter to the prairies, a tribute to the unsung heroes who work tirelessly to feed and fuel a nation. It's a song that reminds us of the importance of roots, of the enduring connection between people and place. And in its quiet, unassuming way, it's a song that celebrates the extraordinary beauty of ordinary life.
    I can't wait to witness where Noeline takes us next in her creative journey.
