Take the Long Way Home | A Southern Rock Road Song for Windows Down and Miles Ahead

Sometimes freedom doesn’t mean getting away. Sometimes it just means not taking the fastest road home. “Take the Long Way Home” follows Jack through the back roads of Tennessee after work, with daylight still hanging on, the windows down, the radio fading in and out, and no real reason to hurry. He could make it home sooner. He just doesn’t want to. Between water towers, hay fields, old songs on the dial and one missed turn that doesn’t need correcting, he remembers that some of the best roads are the ones you choose on purpose. An original Southern / country rock song about open windows, extra miles, and the kind of freedom that lives in the long way home. Twin guitars, slide, melodic bass, lively drums and subtle Hammond give the song the feel of a seasoned 1970s road band with sunlight still on the hood. This is Crossroad Radio.
