"The Long Way Home"
- Gianluca Tramontana, reviewer

Missy Raines' bass on Guy Clark's "Baton Rouge" raises the curtain on an eclectic collection of songs. From the Texas swing of "Wake Me When That Sun Goes Down" to the gentle jazz of "I Get Lonely For You," Amy Gallatin turns in clean vocals. She's definitely enjoying herself, and who can blame her when her regular band is augmented by Rob Ickes on Dobro, and Randy Howard on mandolin and fiddle, both of whom turn in sterling performances?
The title track, co-written by Claire Lynch, evokes an empty, almost haunting feeling. For those hardcore acoustic music buffs that are of the absolute conviction that real instruments should be plucked and not hit -- don't worry, Pat McInerney's percussion is very low key and fits right in. -- G.T.
