Steve Howell & The Mighty Men - Been Here & Gone [CD]

Been Here And Gone is another diverse set list from Steve Howell and The Mighty Men. Ranging from country blues to rhythm and blues and '60's hits to Appalachian traditional music, this collection of vocals and instrumentals is held together by the stripped-down musical conversation going on inside the playing of the band members. This group of veteran Southern journeymen find a deeply common thread in their renditions of great American music in a way seldom accented these days producing satisfying tributes to great songs and melodies. Been Here And Gone is a wonderful addition to their existing catalog of critically acclaimed music and is a first-class offering.
