Eric Gales - Middle Of The Road

Facts 180 gm vinyl LP pressing. Middle of the Road is Eric Gales fourth album on Provogue/Mascot label Group (Joe Bonamassa, Beth Hart, Warren Haynes, The Robert Cray Band) following Transformation (2011), Relentless (2010) and The Psychedelic Underground (2007) and it sees him at his most expressive yet; a deeply personal and reflective record that echoes where he is in his life right now. Middle of the Road is the running theme throughout the record. "It's about being fully focused and centered in the middle of the road. If you're on the wrong side and in the gravel you're not too good and if you're on the median strip that's not too good either, so being in the middle of the road is the best place to be," Gale relates. Along the way he brings in not only a host of guests and collaborators, but also those closest to him including Lauryn Hill, Gary Clark Jr, Eugene Gales, LaDonna Gales, Lance Lopez, Raphael Saadiq and Christone 'Kingfish' Ingram.
