AllMusic[1]

Tore Down House is an album by the guitarist Scott Henderson, released in 1997.[2][3] The album contains three instrumental tracks; it includes a cover version of "Continuum", originally a Jaco Pastorius song, and a re-recording of "Same as You", which appeared on Henderson's Dog Party. Thelma Houston sings on "Meter Maid", among other songs.[4][5]

Critical reception[edit]

Stereo Review wrote that "wailing harp, percolating organ and punchy horns make a perfect foil for Scott's scalding, raunchy Strat tones."[6] The Sydney Morning Herald thought that "what really makes this album work ... is Thelma Houston's wonderfully rich, gutsy vocals—a pleasant surprise."[5]
