More Songs of Route 66: Roadside Attractions ReviewA wonderful collection of songs all linked by the theme of the Mother Road - and destinations thereon - and performed in a multiplicity of musical styles: folk, blues, western swing, surfer pop and a smattering of FM-friendly rock. Stand out tracks? Where to start. An inspired Introduction: ghosts of "Route 66" cover-versions past merge in a discordant soundscape, segueing into Marcia Ball's boogie piano-driven take on the Troup classic. Steel guitar ace Cindy Cashdollar's shimmering "Midnight in Amarillo", on which she is joined by pedal legend Herb Remington, is sheer musical bliss and, for my money, worth the price of the album alone. (Check out also Cindy's understated and spine-melting playing on "Faded Love" from Asleep at the Wheel's Ride with Bob). Fiddle player Jason Roberts' "T-U-L-S-A Straight Ahead" is a fine, driving western swing classic and a showcase for some fantastic instrumental breaks from assorted AATW alumni. There's the rough-edged surfing sound of The LeRoi Brothers' "California Sun" and, in stark and moving contrast, a solo performance by Steve James of Pete Seeger's first completed composition "66 Highway Blues". At the time of this album's release, this was the only recording of Seeger's song commercially available. (Another is now available, sung by Arlo Guthrie and Seeger himself on If I Had a Song: The Songs of Pete Seeger, Vol. 2). In his sleeve notes, compiler Dave Sanger writes that this project took almost five years to complete: a labour of love which shows in the quality of the musicianship and the care in compiling.More Songs of Route 66: Roadside Attractions Overview
