Under the Burning Sun is Ordovich's first Redgrass Opera. In fact, it may even be the only Redgrass Opera with a style that blends country music with radical political ideology. But, don't be fooled, the record contains a dynamic musical palate, with styles ranging from rock & roll to metal.
The album was written for the theatrical stage as a musical dealing with a man's struggle to establish a utopian existence. Divided into two separate parts, the first half deals with a man's tragic demise, whereas the second half portrays the man rising back from the ashes towards his dream ~ the quintessential hero's journey.
