After thirty years on the international stage producing soul legend Eddie Floyd's return to Stax Records, being the driving force behind Boston bands The Radio Kings and The Mercy Brothers, producing Norwegian singer-songwriter William Hut's gold & platinum award winning number one hit "Take It Easy" from the album Nightfall for Universal Records, and most recently producing Feel Like Going Home: The Songs of Charlie Rich for Memphis International Records plus numerous other artists and projects, Michael Dinallo steps forward with Crooked Road Songs, his first recordings as a solo artist. This set features two distinct sides of Michael Dinallo as producer, bandleader, guitarist, and songwriter. Part one features Boston legend Tim Gearan on vocals and is a full band setting evoking hints of Tom Waits and Daniel Lanois. The second half features a more intimate acoustic approach reminiscent of The Band that features garage-band soul shouter Barrence Whitfield on vocals.
