Reeling Down a Road is The Loomers� fifth CD. The group was formed 16 years ago by singer-songwriter and Boston Music Award nominee Jon Svetkey, who continues to be the group�s primary songwriter in addition to handling lead vocals, acoustic guitar, and mandolin. Everett Pendleton continues to rip it up on lead guitar, with Tom Simons� able support with additional electric guitars. Jack Cavalier and Michael Cahill hold down the bass and drums. Rob Laurens pounds the piano, organ and accordion.
The album gracefully traverses the territory of adulthood, such as the bliss of a long-time lover in �Still Falling,� to the exhilaration of �Today�s a Day that Changed My Life.� The travails and devotion of parenting is captured in �As Long as There�s Forever,� a father�s promise to his children. But then there are also those times where a bit of rock and roll escape from all that domesticity is needed, which can be found in tracks such as �Hit The Ground Running� and �Breaking Out Tonight.� There�s a touch of self-deprecation in �Paul McCartney Got It Right� � �I�m just too old to care about some minor singer�s major sorrows� � and the pure songcraft of the soaring �Nobody Goes To The River.�
The CD closes with the title track, �Reeling Down a Road,� which examines the relationships that have come together over decades � or what feels like decades � and the vocal harmony from Svetkey�s former End Construction mates Brian Doser (who also mixed the record), Jim Infantino (Jim�s Big Ego) and Ellis Paul further drives home this song of enduring friendship.
Reeling Down a Road was engineered and co-produced at Mix One Studios by Ted Paduck (Aerosmith, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Martin Sexton) mastered at Mworks by Jonathan Wyner (Bruce Springsteen, Phish, Apples In Stereo).
