Dive into "Stumbling Over Eden," the latest EP from Steve Bonham and The Long Road and embark on a sonic journey that partners Steve Bonham’s books Stumbling Over Eden and The Spirit Dog. The books themselves are based on a wild trek from the High Atlas Mountains to The Sahara Desert. Together they form a discovery of the vagabond within us all. This isn't just music; it's an adventure woven into songs, crafted by musicians who know how to tell a story with every note.
The tracks:
Something Strong and Wild offers a laidback reflection on freedom, capturing the essence of blue-eyed soul on a warm, sunny day. It’s an anthem for those spontaneous moments of liberation, perfect for anyone looking to keep on keeping on.
The Captain and The Duchess A decidedly driving rock feel here with powerful drumming and a striking acapella chorus. This track is a summoning to throw caution to the wind and sail into life's vast sea of possibilities.
I Could Write a Book is a heartfelt country-tinged rock ballad. It tells the true story of a loyal dog's companionship on a perilous trek, celebrating the deep bonds formed on the road less travelled.
Stumbling Over Eden paints a vivid landscape of the harsh, sun-blasted desert and the miraculous discovery of an oasis. The song captures this cinematic journey with lush instrumentation and evocative lyrics, reflecting on the unexpected beauty found in rough terrains.
