AllMusic

Tore Down House is an album by the guitarist Scott Henderson, released in 1997. 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.

Critical reception

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