About the Album
“Been Down This Road Before” is the title track from Clifton Anderson’ s forthcoming album, which shares the same name. It is a thought-provoking musical message, delivered at a time when racism, greed, injustice and a deadly pandemic are jeopardizing our ability to harmoniously exist with one another and with our planet. As always, Clifton’s music serves to challenge and strengthen our resolve to move forward and elevate. The single was released on October 2, 2020; the full album was released on December 4, 2020, on Ropeadope / What We Do Music. Coinciding with the first single will be the release of a music video that highlights the song’s theme and central message. It includes cameo appearances from longtime human rights activist and legendary basketball player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and celebrated award-winning actor Danny Glover, along with guest vocalist A ndy Bey. "Been Down This Road Before" is a poignant perspective on the historic racial struggles that persist in America and throughout the world. Along with Clifton’s trombone, the song features the extraordinary vocalist Andy Bey joined by a stellar line-up including John F. Adams, keyboards and background vocals; Tom Barney, acoustic bass; Steve Jordan, drums; Victor See Yuen, percussion; and Mala Waldron and Angela Workman on background vocals.
