Red House Records is pleased to announce the Fall, 2009 release

Players, helmed by acclaimed producer Billy Crockett , the recording is flavored by
the many sounds of Texas--Americana blues, Tex-Mex and soulful roadhouse ballads.
” An album of sonic superiority and first-rate
songwriting, 500 Miles: The Blue Rock Sessions shows that Cliff’s long musical road has led him to making this--his
finest recording to date.
"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
Cliff, Thanks for the great concert last night, you are soulful, sensitive, hilarious and a heckuva nice guy! It was great having you here, I hope you had as much fun as I did. Guy
Cliff, Your last CD is excellent. Which probably doesn't explain why I bought it two times. Still have to give it as a present to someone who's worth it. Great album ! regards, Rein - http://www. plato. nl
Hey you...just a quick "fly-by"...consider that a virtual kiss being blown your way...hope you are well and that we figure out a time to connect soon. xoS
I saw you play on the first evening of my very first visit to the USA and I thought if that's what the live music scene was like, I knew I just had to live here! Thanks for opening my eyes and ears to a new world of music, and setting the bar so high!
