Description
Through Every Storm is the sole album by the American folk-rock band Emmaus Road, released on Rainbow Records in 1978. The album was recorded by Tom Conrad and Gene Pineau at Featherstone Recording Studios in Sacramento, California; with band member Gary Woltmon producing. Strings arranged and conducted by Tom Howard.
Emmaus Road features Mark Ashcraft on keyboards; Kim Echard on acoustic guitar and vocals; Mark Echard on acoustic and electric guitars, as well as vocals; Gary Woltmon on bass and vocals; and Jim Reiff on drums and congas.
On the same label as Heirship’s Roadway To The Son, the four-guys-and-a-girl California outfit Emmaus Road provides some satisfying examples of soothing melodic electric folkrock. The opening track «It’s Love» in particular sports a nice crisp edge with classy lead guitar. Also standing out are the Caribbean-tinged «Problem Solver», «Impressions» with its breezy melody, the delicate 12-string ballad «Tired Weary Man», and the modest honky-tonker «Cruisin’ Dream». The remaining songs are not quite as memorable – typically slow and soft, some gently basking in Tom Howard’s string arrangements. Fold-out cover. [Ken Scott, The Archivist, 4th edition]
