>> Dear Slowhanders, The new record is available from Nov 3rd in Italy Here I am to give you my unprofessional CD review of The Road to Escondido "a caldo" , on the spot. Sorry for my poor English. It is in my stereo playing right now and it is really a juicy enjoyable work, played in a humble way but with the energy and class of people that can make out of their instrument whatever they want and do not care to show off anymore. if they want to whisper with their guitar they do ; if they want to have fun and giggle with their guitars they do and if they want you to start dreaming of long sunny streets that take you far away from bothers they do and I am just grateful to them for this positive record. I 've also had fun in trying to spot Eric's playing among Mayer's Cale's and his two young side guitar players. I was surprised to see images of the Late Billly Preston. Inside the cover leaf you can read he played Hammond on it. Does it mean some tracks come from the period immediately following Crossroads guitar festival days or what ? This CD may sound too much the JJ Cale of the seventies as I read somewhere It may not The only thing I know is I played it twice without skipping a single track over; "Hard to Thrill" number 8 track , made me get goose bumps at first hearing and listened to it again with headphones to get it better under my skin. The record shop owner was playing the Cd when I stepped inside his shop .So I asked what the CD was like. He said "E' bellissimo" It flows away by itself, it just works then he added " This CD is so much Cale. Clapton owns him all he is" Yes, I thought, while paying, but if most of us are listening to Cale on the other side of the Atlantic or better near the Mediterranean Sea is probably well due to our guitar Archangel as Santana defined Eric in Crossroads DVD recordings..... Don't miss this CD. Ciao Lia from Lucca PS ANy pics from last 7th July gig to share with me? <<


Thanks, just what I expected.
