Bonnie Bishop is the secret weapon. It’s her voice that periodically harmonizes with Jacob Furr’s during “Sierra Madre,” the title track of an album released almost two years ago.
Quoting content from the release of the album:
“"The 10 new tracks from Jacob Furr’s album find the Texas troubadour continuing down his path as a calculated, well rehearsed storyteller. For years, he was meandering through rolling hills and isolated pathways. On ‘Sierra Madre,’ it’s as though Furr has returned from jagged cliffs and sharp mountains. His storytelling is as surefire as ever, but there’s a confidence in Furr’s vocals unlike we’ve seen. There’s a presence throughout. It’s dark—and at times, feels as though it’s on the edge of engulfing Furr and company whole—but Furr continuously ropes it in. There’s an edge to it on tracks like 'Sierra Madre' and 'Estacado' that boom and echo. His shadow looms. The heavy grit mixes with the thick guitar licks that roar right alongside Furr. It’s a second storyteller in Furr’s album of tale, lore, and prophecy."
The contributors to the album include Jacob Furr (vocals, guitar), Ryan Tharp (vocals, guitar), Aaron Stanfield (drums, keys), Austin Lee Kroll (bass), Bonnie Bishop (vocals).

Lyrics of “Sierra Madre” by Jacob Furr
Look into the darkened sky
See the fire on my trail
Where gods and legends go to die
I breathe my last, as I tell my tale
I found a lover burning bright
But time was not a friend
Though love is eternal light
Stars must someday end
My course was set by her charts
Guided by the light of her heart
We sailed alone into the night
My orbit broke when her star died
So I make my bed among the stones
Lost son of the galaxy
Sierra Madre take me home
I'm weary of this odyssey
My course was set by her charts
Guided by the light of her heart
We sailed alone into the night
My orbit broke when her star died
