7 tracks. Running time 15:00 Searching 1906 is a mini album originally written as a soundtrack about the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. It features Leo's excellent guitar work along with accordion, organ, percussion, and a guitaret. It's a work in the same sort of vein as the soundtrack to the film Paris Texas which melds emotions of open spaces and loneliness with longings of intimacy. Each of the short tracks is an all too brief peek at a particular aspect or scene of early 20th century America. The first track “Sundown” has acoustic guitar providing a restrained percussive rhythm and a melody heralding the onset of night and winding down of life's tempo. The second track “Detective” conjured up for me vague recollections of a TV series called the Edgar Wallace Mysteries. Slow wood taps and an acoustic rhythm set a backdrop for echoing plucked notes that create an aura of mystery and shadowed streets where furtive figures lurk. This could easily be the theme tune for an old film noir detective story. It's the shortest track “Open Road” that stands out for being the most enjoyable thanks to its carefree demeanour. A melodic rhythm conveying a feeling of breaking free begins on guitar and is developed by accordion while brief rippling notes could be the movement of wheels. Anyone who has a predilection for refined and evocative guitar music should get hold of Searching 1906. It covers a range of styles but is held together by a feeling of old Americana. Indeed, listening can induce a weird sense of deja vu as though you've heard the music before on American films or TV programmes.
