Details:
Chicago-based singer/songwriter Gabe Rosen has been writing and recording his own blend of country ballads and ramblin'' acoustic numbers since he began performing acoustically in 2003.
''Long Time Away,'' the debut full-length from Gabe Rosen and The Good Enough Band (https://www.tradebit.com represents the culmination of a shared vision.
When Rosen and Drummer/Producer Jim Landeck joined forces in early 2005, they began performing in the Chicago area as a duo. In early 2006 they were joined by keyboardist Eric Chase and bassist Scott Myers. There was a musical and personal connection amongst the band and that chemistry breathed new life into the songs that Gabe had written several years earlier.
While Gabe and the Good Enough Band continued performing regularly in the Chicago area, in October of 2006 they began work on the band''s first full length CD at Shantyville Recording with producer/engineer Nick Eipers at the helm. ''Long Time Away'' was the end result.
Beginning with the raucous hoedown rocker ''Since Arizona'' and puncuated by the haunting melody of ''Strange,'' Long Time Away winds its way through lonely highways and small town bars, all the while reveling in the journey itself.
The band draws influences from classic country rock artists like Steve Earle and Neil Young, rock icons such as The Beatles and the The Doors, and modern rock bands like Radiohead and The Black Crowes, so you never know exactly what you will get with each live performance, but one thing is for sure.. it will always be entertaining.
