"Any cd which starts out with Blues Power featuring Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown on vocals, Eric Clapton on guitar, and Leon Russell playing piano and doing vocals is worth a listen to. Long Way Home continues to impress with every track.Brown demonstrates his musical skills, and careful choice of music. His all star cast includes Clapton, Russell, Ry Cooder, John Loudermilk (who wrote Tobacco Road and does the vocals on the cd)Sonny Landreth and Maria Muldaur. Great tracks besides Blues Power are Don't Think Twice with Maria Muldaur doing vocals with Gatemouth, Mean and Evil with Leon Russell sharing the stage with Gatemouth and of course Tobacco Road.This is a great cd for a blues or rock fan."

"Gatemouth has gathered a collection of todays great talents, and laid down some smooth tracks. Joined by the likes of Eric Clapton, Ry Cooder, Sonny Landreth, Leon Russell and Jim Keltner, the old master reigns in the egos for an easy feel and style. Redoing R & B classics such as "Blues Power," J.J.Cale's "Don't Cry Sister," and "Tobacco Road," Gatemouth shows it's not what you play, but how you play it. This old soul has a lot to give, and for $14 bucks it's a steal. Enjoy!"
