a Long Way Home

Working together since 1978 Tom Principato and Steve Wolf have a great musical relationship one can hear on this album. This time they prefer to play acoustically a mix out of fine Jazz with some Blues and even Tex Mex sounds and Tango is part of it. The Long Way Home is a journey through traditions and its values of fineness, good taste and creativity!

Any cd which starts out with Blues Power featuring Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown on vocals, Eric Clapton on guitar, and Leon Russell playing piano and doing vocals is worth a listen to. Long Way Home continues to impress with every track. Brown demonstrates his musical skills, and careful choice of music. His all star cast includes Clapton, Russell, Ry Cooder, John Loudermilk (who wrote Tobacco Road and does the vocals on the cd) Sonny Landreth and Maria Muldaur. Great tracks besides Blues Power are Don't Think Twice with Maria Muldaur doing vocals with Gatemouth, Mean and Evil with Leon Russell sharing the stage with Gatemouth and of course Tobacco Road. This is a great cd for a blues or rock fan.
