"Texas born Steve Howell lives near Shreveport, La. He has immersed himself in the rural blues of the south and is normally content to re-create obscure country blues with his warm vocals and finger picking ... This collection of, not to be forgotten, once popular older songs are made new again ...".

"Steve Howell has never met a long-forgotten hit or obscure gem that he can't wrap his soothing, road-born baritone around. On Long Ago, the Texas acoustic guitar maestro continues to mine the Great American Songbook as only he can ... Armed with arch top and flat top guitars and Weinheimer's subtle and supportive bottom, the trio brings 11 tunes inflected with jazz, blues, R&B, and rock to life ... Howell includes detailed liner notes on each song and delivers remarkable skill and depth to his playing, while Sumner adds another dimension of acoustic wizardry".
