I find the thought of reusing an old song rather preposterous, however good or timeless the song may be or how well it matches the new cover photo. It's not like the man is not productive enough to come up with new ones, right? Besides, the title of the album has the word "road" in it.
I'm curious though to see whether there's a song on the album with that title, or if it's just a phrase from one of the songs, or whether it's just a description, as was the case with the Tracker album. It will also be interesting to see whether the cover art is an indicator of the music, or if it's purely a general metaphor. Personally, I'd love to hear some twangy Americana rock from the man, preferably with only small doses of Celtic instrumentation this time round.
