Ride the Shadows is the third CD from renowned Canadian songwriter Rob Lutes and has received rave notices in a number of publications across Canada, the US and Europe.

The majority of the record was recorded live over two evenings by engineer Geoff Mitchell, with revered Montreal guitarist Rob MacDonald and Canadian blues bass legend Stephen Barry supporting Rob’s own smoky voice and fingerstyle guitar.

Ride the Shadows features 11 diverse originals and a moving cover of the Otis Redding soul classic “That’s How Strong My Love Is.”

"a brilliantly understated gem...among the best of the year's roots/blues crop."
- Greg Quill, Toronto Star
