GULF COAST RECORDS – EXCLUSIVE VAULT COLLECTION  

 It was November 26, 2021 at the Old Rock House in St. Louis, Missouri the curtain went up, the crowd chatter falls silent, the recording light glowed red and Zito struck his first cord with the fury of a man who was going to bring it on home!  

 The set list for that special night included tunes from Mike’s earlier albums such as First Class Life, Gone to Texas, Make Blues Not War and his Tribute to Chuck Berry, plus his takes on songs popularised by Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Tampa Red, as well as a new song that would become the album’s title track, a product of mikes love for the people, the music, the memory’s and that special feeling he gets when he thinks of home.  

 Mike personally wanted to produce this record to correctly capture the essence of that concert and to highlight the extraordinary talent involved with bringing it to life: Matthew Johnson - vocals/drums; Lewis Stephens - piano/organ; Doug Byrkit – vocals/ bass, with special guests including label mate guitarists Tony Campanella and Dave Kalz, plus guitar wizard Eric Gales.
