about
“Sweet Home Anywhere” is a delicate DADGAD-tuned ballad, indie-songcraft that highlights the artist’s pristine acoustic guitar work, close vocal harmony and emotional lyricism. It’s a song that tells a troubled former lover that, though they are no longer together, his door in always open. Music video link: youtu.be/8-ttlT-38X4
The tune was recorded by Cataldi at his studios in Woodstock, N.Y. and a floating one aboard his houseboat, The Garlic Knot, in Port Washington, N.Y.
The New York Times writes “Cataldi’s original instrumentals and acoustic vocal tunes have a beat unmistakably his own” while Time Out New York adds "the largely instrumental, Eastern-influenced jams are infused with some delicate guitar work and hauntingly moody atmosphere." Cataldi and his Spaghetti Eastern has been called “truly excellent” by The Village Voice, “a wild ride” by Radio Woodstock, “beautiful and unique” by WFUV’s Mixed Bag, “charmingly melodic and off-center” by WFMU and “a jazz virtuoso without the need to prove it” by Aquarian Weekly.
Almanac Weekly calls Cataldi “a unique voice who can conjure a surprising blend of exploratory fusion, electronica and indie song craft” while NYSMusic adds: “If Walt Disney World’s Space Mountain had a secret chill detour, Spaghetti Eastern Music would be the soundtrack.” KMS Reviews calls Spaghetti Eastern Music “pure harmonic bliss” while New York-based MusiciansforMusicians.Org labels it “as beautiful as a well-tended garden and as seductive as a courtesan in an opium den.” Hudson Valley One calls Cataldi’s oeuvre “Part Sergio Leone fever dream, part Ravi Shankar raga, a whirling dervish of musical creation.” Huffington Post applauds the “soaring, searing instrumentals” and “beautiful, quirky songs that have a darkness-in-light straight out of the Nick Drake bag. Simply put, it’s the perfect soundtrack for New York City life.” Rolling Stone writer John Swenson, the man who penned the liner notes to Frank Zappa’s “Shut Up n Play Yer Guitar,” may have put it best: “He’s the hippie guitarist playing to another dimension.”
lyrics
She has no time for love, she only has a taste for pain
She’s sweet home anywhere, she’s a dangerous game
When you lend your heart to a shadow, warm a hand inside a cold glove
She’s sweet home anywhere…
Good night baby, you can come back again, if you need a friend
Well, she’s pretty as a pistol, she runs on a monkey mind
She’s sweet home anywhere, she’s the dangerous kind
So roll out the red carpet boy, and hoist up the white flag
She’s sweet home anywhere
Good night baby, you can come back again, if you need a friend
