What’s more retro than a vinyl 45?
Long Road Home, the quintet formed in 2005 by Martin Gilmore (guitar) and Justin Hoffenberg (fiddle), and now additionally consisting of Pete Wernick (banjo), Jordan Ramsey (mandolin) and Andrew Bonnis on bass, has announced the release of a three-track EP to be officially released on July 1st.
The record has the band’s three best new songs from their repertoire, namely Headed Back to Dixieland, a Martin Gilmore original that serves as the title track; Angeline the Baker, the band’s version of the 150 year-old song, performed as a tight vocal duet; and Polly Vaughn, a mysterious-sounding song with a ghost, a trial and a surprise ending.
The EP is available in all formats: digital download, a CD and… a 7” vinyl 45r pm disc.
In advance of the official release, and for a limited period only, the band has made the recordings available as digital downloads.
The ‘45’ comes with some extras not available otherwise:
- A previously unreleased track from their debut CD, Live at eTown Hall
- A physical download card for an additional digital copy to give a friend
- A nifty decorative hardwood ‘45’ adapter for your record player
