Long Line

Long Line is the fourth solo album by Peter Wolf, released in 1996. The album marked a shift in Wolf's music from pop rock to a bluesier rock with more personal, introspective lyrics.[3][4] It had been six years since the release of his previous album, the delay largely due to legal problems with his previous record company MCA.[4] In the interim, Wolf performed gigs in the Boston area with his band Houseparty Five, who then served as the backing band on his tour for this album under the name The Street Ensemble.[3]
