Cej - Adobe Road (2019)

Cej is back with a new CD- his third. Yes, this globe-trotting songwriter, itinerant social worker, DADGAD devotee, road runner, snake-whisperer, dreamer and seeker, with more questions than answers, is back.

Just as Sleepwalker In Paradise (2013), was built around a core of songs inspired by his time in Hawaii; and Clovis Man (2017), was built around a core of songs inspired by his time in Clovis New Mexico; Adobe Road (New) is built around a core of songs inspired by his recent work in California’s Mohave Desert. Unlike the first two CDs, Adobe Road reflects more directly and incisively on his work providing informal counseling services to military members and families impacted by the seemingly endless state of war we find ourselves in. Or, perhaps more honestly, the impacts of the same on himself. And, yes, there are some instrumentals and a love song or three on here as well.

There are12 tracks: 6 feature Cej alone, live in the studio, including 2 solo instrumentals; 3 include a full band (bass, drums, and one or more of the following instruments—Accordion, Fiddle, B3 Hammond Organ, Vibes, Percussion and backing vocals); and ,on 3 tracks, Cej is joined by one or two other players…Vibes, Fiddle and/or percussion (Djembe).
