About this Music

NEW Combo BLUWAVS CD and FLAC FILE

Curtis Salgado strives to persevere as the creator of heartfelt music that brooks no concession to commercialism or artifice of any sort. Salgado's voice is strong, limber, direct, carrying a cool sense of relaxation. His sung phrases move right along with the pulse of the mixed blues-funk-soul-rock played by his expert band (plus a couple of guests like guitarists Duke Robillard and Terry Robb) until finding blessed release by soaring off in melodic arches. A fine songwriter with a penchant for insightful lyrics, Salgado plumbs a number of complex and arresting moods, from the anguished contentment of "Sorry Don't Mean Nothin'" to the inner ache that compels the song's protagonist to "Sing My Song." And Salgado puts his stamp on three little-known gems carefully chosen from the blues or soul-blues archives: J.B. Lenoir's "I Feel So Good," Al "TNT" Braggs's "That's All a Part of Lovin' You," and O.V. Wright's "I Want Everyone to Know." Few albums released in the late 1990s are as smart and enjoyable as this one. Don't miss it. --Frank-John Hadley
