“Review, Inside Bluegrass, March 2010.
Steve Howard has been performing American roots music for over three decades. For those of you who know him, you would probably agree with me that he is a walking encyclopedia of blues, jazz, folk and bluegrass music. If you ever have a chance to jam with him (something I would recommend) you’ll probably be playing tunes from Bill Monroe, Robert Johnson, and Duke Ellington, all in one session. Steve’s latest Album, Easy to Get Lost in the World sums up a lifetime of musical exploration.
Listening to the project is a bit like taking a class in American folk music. The journey starts with a visit to the Appalachian Mountains, winds to Nashville for some classic country, and ends up in New York City with a jazz standard.
. . .
Overall, I would highly recommend this album. Climb aboard with Steve and his band and enjoy the trip that covers the landscape of American roots music.
