Delving into the Great American Songbook of Howe Gelb, Sandworms: The Songs of Howe Gelb and Giant Sand is a compelling tribute collection that rephrases and rephases the legacy of Giant Sand across generations. Released via Fire Records, this 2025 compilation brings together a diverse roster of artists — including Water From Your Eyes, Deradoorian, Jesca Hoop & John Parish, Lily Konigsberg, and Holiday Ghosts — each offering their own bold take on Gelb's storied catalog.
The reinterpretations range widely in mood and texture, from Angel Deradoorian's spaced-out reimagining of Center of the Universe to The Golden Dregs' strangely moving take on Yer Ropes, blurring sentimentality and unease into something entirely fresh. Complete with liner notes from Dave Henderson of Mojo, this is a thoughtfully assembled collection for both long-time Giant Sand devotees and curious newcomers ready to discover why Howe Gelb's songwriting has resonated across decades.
