Tomislav Goluban with Crooked Eye Tommy—

Nashville Road—Overton Music OMX 1003

Tomislav and Tommy have extended their friendship

into recording an album that has TG on harmonica and
some vocals with CET on vocals, electric, acoustic and

lap guitar. Backed by: Eric Robert; keyboards, Doug
Selbert; bass, Alphonso Wesby; drums, Jasco Duende;

guitar, Bill Gilliam; upright bass, and Grady Clark; slide

guitar.

The instrumental ‘Hard Run’, is a seriously fast paced, raw harmonica and percussion

delight with excellent piano and guitar solos.

The percussively enticing, rocking stomper ‘Rock Dog’ rolls along nicely, as CET’s
raw vocals are underpinned by duelling harmonica and guitar.

The bouncing piano, steaming, smoking, harmonica-led ‘Up Is Down’, is a fiery,
floor-duster.

‘Bad Choices Make Good Stories’ is a laconically lazy, Jazz piano influenced, drawling
harmonica led, slowburner, with richly picked guitar, over the top is a casually,

relaxed and enticing vocal from CET.

The instrumental ‘Hip Hop Shake’, delivers a splendidly pounding, Rockabilly
percussion, with raw harmonica leading a rocking piano and guitar that blasts out,

for good measure.

An infectiously lazy southern percussive beat infuses ‘Hard Candy’, while a joy filled
piano rolls on with a warm, comforting harmonica; a richly picked guitar joins in.

Sweet!

The lazy Southern feel continues on ‘Keep Moving On’, with a walking paced

harmonica and piano, a guitar and organ pleasantly injects a faster rocking feel.

The swinging ‘Life Is Good’, is about good times, as a sweetly played harmonica and

piano duets with the warmth of a rich, comforting guitar.

‘There Is A Train’, raises the philosophical question—what and where is your
destination? This delta-infused, haunting mixture of upright bass and slide, only add

to the mournfully weaving harmonica. CET’s darkly, inquisitive and inquiring vocal,
invites you to answer for your actions.
