The Long Way Home [CD]

Since their first musical collaborations in 1978 Tom Principato and Steve Wolf have shared countless tours and recording projects. From the first notes of this new studio set they demonstrate an intuitive camaraderie expressed through warm tones, heartfelt melodies, and soulful solo lines. This time they've traded in their customary solid-body Fender instruments for hollow-body Gibsons, nylon string guitars, and the upright bass. With these tools they playfully shift roles with dexterity and affection weaving a lush chemistry of supple interplay. This diverse collection of original music comes together as a cohesive portfolio of musical styles: from blues and jazz flavored melodies to a Tex-Mex infused waltz, and even a tango. The Long Way Home is a journey to where the traditional musical values of fineness, good taste and creative ingenuity still hold sway. You'll definitely want to make the trip.
