Let's listen to a good blues album with timeless compositions that make you feel good and take you back to the very source of all pop, rock, hard-rock and metal music! The bluesman 'Tommy Castro', who already has a successful career behind him and an extensive discography, has released a new album 'A Bluesman Came To Town' in September 2021, which takes us on a journey through time and offers us a great variety of tracks: we go from an original blues with 'Somewhere' or 'A Blues Came To Town' to boogie blues with gospel choirs and with a very nice vocal duet between 'Terri Odabi' and 'Tommy Castro' in 'Child Don't Go', passing by beautiful ballads with 'You To Hold On To' or these torrid blues that are 'Blues Prisoner' and 'I Want To Go Back Home' or some funk mood with 'Hustle', reminiscent of the king of this style, 'James Brown', or shuffle with the irresistible 'I Got Burned', or rock à la 'Chuck Berry' with 'I Caught A Break', or even rolling blues/rock with 'Women, Drugs and Alcohol', without forgetting the short cover of 'Somewhere', which has a country flavour. In short, there's something for everyone, but for my part, I'll take it all because 'Tommy Castro' has the talent to transcend all these genres and to know how to transmit his love for this music that has crossed several decades without having aged a bit... | |
