An Enhanced Edition banner sits above the original Escondido cover photograph. Three previously unreleased songs from the original sessions, three live recordings from Live in San Diego and new liner notes extend the fourteen-song album across four sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJ.J. Cale and Eric Clapton recorded The Road to Escondido in Los Angeles in August 2005, and Duck\/Reprise released it in 2006. The two had circled one another for decades. Clapton heard Cale's 1966 Liberty single \"Slow Motion\" in the late sixties, took its B-side \"After Midnight\" to radio in 1970, and later cut \"Cocaine.\" They worked together properly after Clapton's 2004 Crossroads Guitar Festival in Dallas, where Clapton asked Cale to produce a record for him and the two ended up making one between them. Escondido is a city in San Diego County near Cale's home at the time; the road of the title is Valley Center Road, which runs between the two places.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCale and Clapton produced the album with Simon Climie. Alan Douglas recorded and mixed it, Mick Guzauski mixed, and Bob Ludwig mastered at Gateway Mastering in Portland, Maine. Cale wrote all but three of the fourteen songs: \"Sporting Life Blues\" is Brownie McGhee's, \"Hard to Thrill\" a Clapton and John Mayer co-write, and \"Three Little Girls\" Clapton's.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sessions carried a long guest list - Derek Trucks, Albert Lee, Doyle Bramhall II, John Mayer, Taj Mahal on harmonica, Christine Lakeland, Pino Palladino, Nathan East, Willie Weeks, Steve Jordan and Abe Laboriel Jr. among them. They also hold Billy Preston's final recordings, on Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer and Hammond organ. Preston died in June 2006 and the album is dedicated jointly to him and to Brian Roylance. It won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album in 2008.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe added material sits on sides C and D. \"Wrong No More,\" \"I Got To Find My Baby\" and \"Roll On\" come from the original sessions; \"Roll On\" features Preston and Mayer and was issued as this edition's first single, with a music video. The three live performances - \"Who Am I Telling You?,\" \"Anyway The Wind Blows\" and \"Don't Cry Sister\" - are drawn from Live in San Diego.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc 1 (Rusty Red) — Side A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDanger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeads in Georgia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMissing Person\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen This War Is Over\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSporting Life Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc 1 (Rusty Red) — Side B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col start=\"6\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDead End Road\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's Easy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard to Thrill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyway the Wind Blows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree Little Girls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc 2 (Sky Blue) — Side C\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col start=\"11\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Cry Sister\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLast Will and Testament\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWho Am I Telling You?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRide the River\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWrong No More (Bonus Track)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc 2 (Sky Blue) — Side D\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col start=\"16\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Got To Find My Baby (Bonus Track)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoll On (Bonus Track)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWho Am I Telling You?
