This highly anticipated album includes 13 instrumental and vocal songs composed by Nathan East, Bob James, Pat Metheny, Stevie Wonder, Van Morrison, Steve Winwood and Michael McDonald. It features an amazing collection of musicians including Sara Bareilles, Eric Clapton, Bob James, Michael McDonald, Ray Parker Jr., Tom Scott and too many others to mention. The lead track "Daft Funk" was inspired by Nathan's work with Daft Punk's hugely successful "Get Lucky". Already released in the States, Nathan East was nominated for a GRAMMY in the Best Contemporary Instrumental category. 1 101 Eastbound 00:05:25 2 Sir Duke 00:04:05 3 Letter From Home 00:04:02 4 Moondance 00:04:20 5 I Can Let Go Now 00:02:47 6 Daft Funk 00:04:47 7 Sevenate 00:03:39 8 Can't Find My Way Home 00:05:32 9 Moodswing 00:05:08 10 Overjoyed 00:04:26 11 Yesterday 00:03:12 12 Finally Home 00:05:14 13 Madiba 00:08:22 14 America the Beautiful 00:04:34
