Gabe Rosen And The Good Enough Band kick off Long Time Away with the toe-tapping “Since Arizona,” but too many other tracks have slow, repetitious arrangements. Rosen, like his mates, is a talented musician, but his folksy vocal delivery sounds artificial. He’s particularly out of place amid the lush harmonies crafted by keyboardist Eric Chase and drummer Jim Landeck on “Strange.” Chase’s instrumental, “Sunday Morning (Maple),” offers a welcome change of pace.

Bio
Chicago-based singer/songwriter Gabe Rosen has been writing and recording his own blend of country ballads and ramblin' acoustic numbers since he began performing acoustically in 2003.
'Long Time Away,' the debut full-length from Gabe Rosen and The Good Enough Band (http://www.gaberosen.com/) represents the culmination of a shared vision.
When Rosen and Drummer Jim Landeck combined their talents in early 2005, they began performing in the Chicago area as a duo. In early 2006 they were joined by Vocalist/Keyboardist Eric Chase and Bassist Scott Myers.
As the band continued performing regularly in the Chicago area, in October of 2006 they began work on their first full length CD at Shantyville Recording with Producer/Engineer Nick Eipers at the helm.
Beginning with the raucous hoedown rocker 'Since Arizona' and punctuated by the haunting melody of 'Strange,' Long Time Away winds its way through lonely highways and small town bars, all the while reveling in the journey itself.
