Eric Lindell - Gulf Coast Highway [CD]

An infectious set of soul-infused, instantly memorable roots music anthems in the tradition of Van Morrison and Delbert McClinton, full of righteous grooves and punchy guitar fueled R&B rave-ups, heartfelt ballads and funky second-line rhythms. Lindell throws some honky tonk spice into play as well, with frisky versions of songs by McClinton, Buck Owens and Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson.
