![]() From the sinuous Heads In Georgia to the swinging, poppish shuffles Missing Person and When This War Is Over C & C are just two old boys playing the boogie woogie Dead End Road and the rolling Ride The River. Sounding like several outtakes from Clapton's 70's work ( Danger, Don't Cry Sister) Escondido lays back where it will and rocks wherever the hell it damn well pleases. The Road To Escondido isn't going to set the world on fire or cure its ills and it won't be mentioned in the same heights of year-end-best-of as Dylan or Springsteen's '06 offerings, but it's a wonderful ride all the same. I've been waiting a long time for this one.ĭon't you want to be on any road that features ol' Slowhand playing with more ease and energy than at anytime since his ripping solo on Dylan's Don't Think Twice nearly 15 years ago at Dylan's thirtieth anniversary concert? A dusty back road with Cale's ever steady, wizened, rolling rhythms? ![]()
