Personnel: Tommy Emmanuel (vocals, acoustic guitar); Elizabeth Watkins (background vocals).
Originally released in 2002 in Tommy Emmanuel's native Australia (where he's a jazz and folk guitar legend) but not available in the States until 2005, Endless Road is a solo acoustic album that in its revamped form adds a pair of unimpressive vocal numbers. Emmanuel's fingerpicking style is heavily influenced by Chet Atkins, who appears here on a genial but melodically flimsy duet called "Chet's Ramble" that, truth be told, sounds like it was probably an outtake from their 1997 duet album, The Day Finger Pickers Took Over the World. Emmanuel fares much better on his own, but he's at his best when he's working with songs that have stronger melodies than his own competent but unexciting tunes. For example, on the increasingly moldy standard "Over the Rainbow," Emmanuel offers a hint of John Fahey's diffused, abstract style in its intro before moving into a more traditional iteration of the familiar melody. Even better is Emmanuel's flashy but effective reworking of the nearly as hoary "Mona Lisa," which Emmanuel turns into a shimmering, kaleidoscopic version of itself. Not all of the recastings are quite so effective: Emmanuel simply is a far better guitar player than he is a singer, and the a cappella take on Jerry Reed's "Today Is Mine" does neither singer nor song any favors. ~ Stewart Mason Tommy Emmanuel Endless Road Songs Endless Road Music Review Average Rating: (4.2 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Guitar Guru
If you haven't heard of Tommy Emmanuel, then you have been missing out big time. He is incredible! The only thing is after watching and listening to him perform, you have a fleeting moment when you feel like throwing out your own guitar for ever cos you'll never be as good as him!...lol. Highly recommended!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No L'excellence à la guitare acoustique
Depuis l'album "initiation" paru en 1995, Tommy Emmanuel m'apparaîssait comme un guitariste étonnant. Technique, inventif et musical. Avec "Endless road" il atteint à mon avis des sommets. Il s'agit evidemment d'un album acoustique. On sent des influences de Chet Atkins, picking, folk. Certains passages me rappellent également Léo Kottke. Rare sont aujourd'hui les albums où il n' y a rien à éliminer, celui-ci en fait partie. Il est de plus parfaitement bien enregistré

Jon Langford's punk roots are showing more than usual on this uneven disc (after all, he also fronts the Mekons). But while the rock edge of "Pigsville" is nice to hear, his obsession with all things cowboy begins to sound silly after a time with his Manchester accent. ...
| | Blues Masters: The Very Best Of T-Bone Walker. CD (2000)
Endless Road
$9.09

Compilation producers: James Austin, Billy Vera.
Recorded between 1945 & 1947. Includes liner notes by Billy Vera & James Austin.
Digitally remastered by Bob Fisher.
A title as lofty as The Very Best of T-Bone Walker begs the question, "Does this CD really contain the seminal Texas bluesman's very best work?" And in fact, this 2000 release (which spans 1945-1957), does contain some of Walker's finest, most essential recordings of the '40s and '50s. It isn't the only collection focusing on Walker's recordings of that period -- in 1995, for example, Capitol released the comprehensive three-CD set The Complete Capitol/Black & White Recordings. But if you need a more concise, single-disc collection of Walker's '40s and '50s classics, Blues Masters: The Very Best of T-Bone Walker would be an excellent choice. All of the material is superb -- Walker's original 1947 version of "Call It Stormy Monday" (his most famous song) is included, and anyone with even a casual interest in the singer/guitarist's output also needs to hear gems like "The Hustle Is On" (1950), "Tell ...

Josh Rose wishes he knew exactly where his music comes from. Growing up in the sparsely populated wilds of Northern Michigan, it would be hard for him to draw any specific conclusion. When you spend your formative years with little access to any musical events, with modest surroundings, and with the only radio station in town hawking hair bands to the end of time, it might have been tough to grow as a writer and musician. But since he decided to put his mind to all this singer songwriter stuff, Josh has realized that his songs speak to the person who feels that there still are things left to say in music, that a new song is an awesome use of space, and that the singer songwriter did not die with Nick Drake.So where do his songs come from?• From the ordinary things in life which make extraordinary statements.• From the three largest Great Lakes, which were all within a forty minute drive from where he grew up.• From the immigrant bred into the genes of all of us.• From the moments that we wish we could take a second to enjoy.• From science, literature, sports, and history.• From the pastoral landscape of Michigan that dominates the horizon.• From the billboard that blocks the view of that landscape.• From government, religion, ...
