The Road is Anthony's second album put out in 2020 during the throes of lockdown when very little traveling was being accomplished. This album was inspired by his love for folk artist Bob Dylan and his interest in the lives of storytellers like Beatnik Jack Kereouc and F. Scott Fitzgerald. The Road, released in Spring 2020, encompassed the Beat-Dylan American traditions of love, socio-political awareness, and the open road. Wallace Baine from Good Times Santa Cruz wrote: “Santa Cruz teenage prodigy Anthony Arya is headed for big things ... His new album is called The Road–a title that, in its simplicity and romance, evokes big themes of restlessness, freedom, longing for an imagined or lost life, the almost limitless possibilities of the future, a Kerouac-ian thirst for experience.” An official music video shot in scenic Santa Cruz was released for “California Air”.
