Details: Cliff Eberhardt is a songwriter’s songwriter with a lyrical sophistication that could easily occupy a chapter in the great American songbook. Combining world-class lyricism and pop hooks that reside in your head, Cliff is a rare musician who can deliver a heartbroken line with a twist of humor. His 2007 release, The High Above and the Down Below was a critics darling named one of the Top 5 releases of the year by USA Today and marked a musical renaissance for Cliff. He follows it up with 500 Miles: The Blue Rock Sessions, an album of sonic superiority and exemplary musicianship that makes it a cornerstone of his catalog. Tucked away in the Texas Hill Country, Cliff recorded the twelve tracks in the legendary Blue Rock Studio with some of the cream of Austin’s music scene. Capturing the open space and creative spirit that flourishes at Blue Rock, each track swaggers with a sexiness that hovers like the Texas heat. Cliff’s soulful grit and vocal prowess deliver each line with vitality and emotional depth in an album that is atmospheric and powerful. The dazzling originals that make up the backbone of the record are accentuated by solid covers including a stunning reworking of John Hiatt’s “Back of My Mind” as well as a refined rendition of Cliff’s 1990 classic “The Long Road.” A song made richer with the insight of 20 additional life years. On 500 Miles: The Blue Rock Sessions, Cliff creates the distance to reflect on where you’ve been, where you are and where you’re going. A distance that narrows with a constant search for home on one of the finest recordings of his career.
