Routes and Branches Play List 9/06/08

Tim Little

I picked up Drew Emmitt's new CD "Long Road" this week and found a lot of great tunes on it. From originals to cover tunes Drew has put together an excellent album. His covers of Super Tramp's "Take The Long Way Home", Marshall Tucker's "Take The Highway" and Van Morrison's "Gypsy in My Soul" are very well done respectable versions of the originals. He also has several excellent original tunes including "I'm Alive" and "River's Risin'
Other new music to Routes and Branches this week included the new disc from Little Feat "Join The Band" and Rodney Crowell's "Sex and Gasoline". Little Feat have joined up with a bunch of their friends and recorded new versions of all the old favorites. Rodney Crowell's new disc is loaded with great new original tunes from the title track "Sex & Gasoline" to "The Rise and Fall of Intelligent Design".
