REVIEWS:
Barry Thomas Goldberg's new album kicks ass! It's a reunion effort with all the guys from his wonderful Hiway 52 Band, and it's a terrific combination of raunchy, gut-level, heartfelt rock n roll, seamlessly combined with Barry's total mastery of the art of songwriting. And Connie Olson's on it too! Available from www.barrythomasgoldberg.com - Arne Fogel

Goldberg and HWY 52 played in the Twin Cities and around Minnesota during the late 1970's. In the past decade Goldberg has released a handful of ambitious CD's, all worth hearing. This reunion, however, is his first album with his old band to actually see the light of day. The result is worth the 30 year wait. Raw and more or less live, it captures the onstage energy and chemistry of Goldberg and HWY 52. The album contains some of the great tunes they were known for back in the day as well as newer material.( I suggest starting with "Red Moon.")
