It's not often that the first time I listen to a recording I love it instantly, but that's what happened when I heard The Road to Escondido. There really isn't anything not to like about this recording. The songs, music, and the way that Clapton and J.J. Cale harmonize is just amazing. My only hope is that they do this again and release another recording together.

After years of honoring each other's work, most notably Clapton covering Cale's "After Midnight" and "Cocaine," the two blues guitar greats team up to create a fresh album together. The result is true to both legends' blues roots, but unfortunately lacks any energy or punch to make any of the songs interesting. I don't know if it's because they're getting on in years or they forgot how to kick it up a notch, but somehow I believe that their ride to Escondido is in an old Cadillac traveling at 20mph in the fast lane with their blinker on.

Perfect comination of British and American blues. The song Ride the River is one of the ten best songs ever written and performed. If you like to drive to music, you'll want to take this CD always. Highly recomended.
January 22, 2008This is a good sound. We are enjoying it as we ride our H.D. around this USA!
January 13, 2008This is phoenominal. What other adjectives can you think of to describe this? All the cliches you can think of still won't fully elaborate how good this is.
