From the mind of Rich Hopkins, co-founder and guitarist of the Sidewinders/Sand Rubies, one of Arizona’s most accomplished rock‘n’roll exports, comes The Whole Enchilada: The History of Desert Rock, Tucson, Arizona 1978-1994
Tucson's seasoned cowboy stoners and alienated young punk rockers have created their own distinct desert-tinged sounds. The Whole Enchilada documentary explores the scene's roots and philosophy through interviews, images and the music itself, focusing on 1978-1994 and inspired by a compilation project of the same name curated by Sand Rubies guitarist Rich Hopkins.
The Whole Enchilada is a short documentary produced by Sand Rubies’ guitarist Rich Hopkins and directed by Maggie Smith which explores the roots of Tucson’s own desert rock music. Exclusive interviews with seasoned country rockers like Bob Meighan and George Hawke are interspersed with Tucson alt-rock legends like Dan Stuart (Green on Red), Billy Sedlmayr, and Howe Gelb (Giant Sand). Add in never-before-seen footage from legendary The Pills, wild child Suzie Caruze and Naked Prey and you begin to get a feel for this fun and original short documentary film.
