I need to find some desert music

[catmandu57]

I'm making a slide show of our southwestern vacation and I need to find some suitable music to put to it. Specifically Zion Canyon the floor, climbing the wall to the top and out I've got that, but the floor has me stumped.
I'm thinking Michael Martin Murphey's Old Desert Rat, but, that doesn't fit really, any suggestions?

I'll looking to go back out to Utah this fall and trying to find a remote multiday hike.

6. No it was all driving

I haven't been able to hike for years, I climbed to the top of Angels Landing in 81, now I can't take four steps before I fall on my face.

4. My favorite desert song

Pancho and Lefty
By Willie Nelson

Livin on the road my friend, is gonna keep you free and clean
Now you wear your skin like iron
Your breath as hard as kerosene
You weren't your momma's only boy, but her favorite one it seems
She began to cry when you said goodbye
And sank into your dreams
Pancho was a bandit boy, his horse was fast as polished steel
He wore his gun outside his pants
For all the honest world to feel
Pancho met his match you know on the deserts down in Mexico
Nobody heard his dyin words, ah but that's the way it goes

All the Federales say, they could've had him any day
They only let him slip away, out of kindness I suppose

Lefty he can't sing the blues all night long like he used to
The dust that Pancho bit down south ended up in Lefty's mouth
The day they laid poor Pancho low, Lefty split for Ohio
Where he got the bread to go, there ain't nobody knows

All the Federales say, they could've had him any day
They only let him slip away out of kindness I suppose

The boys tell how old Pancho fell, and Lefty's livin in cheap hotels
The desert's quiet, Cleveland's cold
And so the story ends we're told
Pancho needs your prayers it's true, but save a few for Lefty too
He only did what he had to do, and now he's growing old

All the Federales say, they could've had him any day
They only let him go so long, out of kindness I suppose

A few gray Federales say, they could've had him any day
They only let him go so long, out of kindness I suppose

Particularly their instrumentals.

7. I like Strunz & Farah

http://www.strunzandfarah.com/

great blend of Latin and Middle Eastern guitar music. Instrumental too, so it would work well as a soundtrack.
