Leftover Salmon mandolonist Drew Emmitt will release his next solo album on July 15. Long Road features seven new originals, including collaborations with John Cowan (‘Long Road’) and Jim Lauderdale (‘I’m Alive’), as well as covers of Supertramps’ ‘Take the Long Way Home,’ Marshall Tucker Band’s ‘Take the Highway,’ and Van Morrison’s ‘Gypsy in my Soul.’ Co-produced by Emmitt and Compass Records co-founder Garry West, Long Road also features appearances by Billy Nershi, Jeff Sipe, Tim O’Brien, Alison Brown, Darrell Scott and Tyler Grant, among many others. After a festival-heavy summer, Emmitt will tour with the Waybacks this October.
