Riding Shotgun: “NIGHTfallen”

Tracks
Written By Michael Gutierrez

Is this the second half of the conceptual title track to the album NIGHTfalls? At this point night has fallen on Riding Shotgun, the instrumental groovelords of the Boston rock scene in the Aughts. Or is the band still a thing? At least one (maybe two?) of the members is a current Muzzin. With a 2021 remaster and remix, the Shotguns are Riding NIGHTfalls again.
