Notes

The theme of friendship has carried Mitch Woods along throughout his life and led him to this career-defining project. Originally released in 2017 on the eOne imprint, the Deluxe Edition of Friends Along the Way, totals 21 cuts, with the last five tracks having been previously unreleased . Upon its initial release, eOne decided they would become a film company and dropped all promotion on its musical releases, including Mitch Woods’ Friends Along the Way. Not one to be dissuaded, Mitch was able to secure his ownership of the masters and decided to release this expanded Deluxe Edition featuring the unreleased tracks to bring it to the attention of music listeners and blues lovers who never got the chance to hear these incredible songs from Mitch, along with his musical contemporaries and early influences. This is Mitch’s musical opus and culmination of a life in blues and friendships that have lasted a lifetime.
