The
Long Way Home
August 1998
The Long Way Home,
recorded in Nashville, TN, is Amy's first solo effort. Grammy
award-winning producer Rich Adler, who has worked with such noted
musicians as Alison Krauss, Johnny Cash, Tom Paxton, David Mallett,
Iris DeMent and Neil Young, assembled a cast of top-flight musicians
for the project. In addition to fiddle wizard Randy Howard (who also
plays mandolin on the project) the album features1998 IBMA Bass Player
of the Year Missy Raines, and 1997 and 1998 IBMA Dobro Player of the
Year Rob Ickes. Awards aside, it's the cohesiveness of the project
as a whole--an Adler trademark--that makes this album a triumphant
national debut for Amy Gallatin. "I'd say the album has an acoustic
country feel, only with a wider range of contemporary, varied material,"
Amy says. "l knew without a doubt the instrumentation had to
be acoustic, as all my albums have been." Jeff White, currently
touring with Vince Gill, and a superb bluegrass musician in his own
right, joins Amy for a lively duet on "Wake Me When That Sun
Goes Down" penned by South Dakota songwriter Hank Harris. Guitarist
and session leader Steven Sheehan, a Nashville veteran, has chalked-up
projects with David Mallett and Claire Lynch, among many others. Percussionist
Pat McInerney, renowned for his studio work as well as his tours with
folk artist Nanci Griffith, rounds out the cast along with Jim Hoke
on harmonica and clarinet.
The album is garnering airplay from coast to coast and has been featured on Prime Cuts of Bluegrass and Acoustic Rainbow compilations. The title cut was co-written by noted bluegrass singer/songwriter Claire Lynch and Steven Sheehan. Gallatin's fans have long awaited her recording of Guy Clark's "Immigrant Eyes," as well as the finale "Rancher's Lullaby," both of which she has been performing with her band Stillwaters for some time. "I couldn't be happier with Rich's production and all the musicians on this album," Amy says. "It's a dream come true for me to be able to work with any one of them, much less all of them together."
