EMMAUS ROAD


Through Every Storm (Rainbow RR0158) 1978




On the same label as Heirship’s Roadway To The Son, the four-guys-and-a-girl California outfit Emmaus Road provides some satisfying examples of soothing melodic electric folkrock. The opening track ‘It’s Love’ in particular sports a nice crisp edge with classy lead guitar. Also standing out are the Caribbean-tinged ‘Problem Solver’, ‘Impressions’ with its breezy melody, the delicate 12-string ballad ‘Tired Weary Man’, and the modest honky-tonker ‘Cruisin’ Dream’. The remaining songs are not quite as memorable - typically slow and soft, some gently basking in Tom Howard’s string arrangements. Fold-out cover. (The Archivist by Ken Scott, 4th Edition)
