“The album stands as not only Tommy Castro's most essential effort to date, but a sheer, soaring tour-de-force as well.”
—Living Blues
“Castro is one of the brightest stars in the blues-soul genre. Voracious blues energy and ultimate soul power...impassioned vocals and pure inventiveness in his stellar guitar solos.” —Blues Music Magazine
“Soul-baring roadhouse blues…top notch Memphis soul.” —Washington Post
Beloved soul-blues rocker Tommy Castro's most ambitious and visionary album of his career is now available. It’s full of infectious, original songs, searing guitar and deeply soulful vocals. Tommy calls the album A Blues Odyssey, because together, the album’s tracks tell the saga of the rise of a young, small-town guitarist who, inspired by a veteran bluesman, embarks on a music career full of dramatic ups and downs. A striking collection of songs tells the story in vivid lyrics, brought to life by Tommy's patented roadhouse rock, heartfelt ballads and deep, greasy grooves. Produced and co-written by Grammy-winning producer and songwriter Tom Hambridge (who produced Buddy Guy, Christone "Kingfish" Ingram and many more), it’s an exhilarating, rootsy Tommy Castro masterwork.
