Free Music Review: Endless Road is made up of a man and his guitar
Hit: 3 Stars
The Good
Simply put, Endless Road is made up of a man and his guitar. That's it! Emmanuel brings out plenty of different emotions and music styles on this release. "Endless Road" is a mid-tempo finger-picking exhibition. "Tall Fiddler" has a fast-paced old west gallop to it. "Morning Aire" musically creates that calm feeling you feel inside when the warm sun comes up over the horizon. "Windy and Warm" displays a twangy blues tone. The legendary Chet Atkins guests on "Chet's Ramble", which is probably a left over from the album the two collaborated on a few years back.
"Son of a Gun" recalls that movie scenario where you pass an old guy on his porch strumming his guitar as you try to find your way back home on an isolated country road. The mid-tempo rhythms of "Christmas Memories/Wheels" arouse memories of hitting the road on the holidays to visit the extended family you haven't see over the last year. Tommy's instrumental version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" extracts the same powerful emotions that Judy Garland did when she sang it.
The Bad
Out of the nineteen songs on the album, two of them have vocals. I think that the addition of these two songs break the overall feel and theme of the recording.
The Verdict
Endless Road borders on the line of country music, but is more of an expression of love for the acoustic guitar.
