Singer and harmonica player Curtis Salgado is well known both for blues and soul lovers With this new album we will be able to discover his more intimate, calm and lovely facet, in a collection of songs that bring a tasteful flavour and a smell of old time but contemporary blues as well Together with his band guitar player since year 2015, Alan Hager, both musicians have recorded this splendid, cool and balsamic album with thirteen excellent blues, performed practically completely acoustic, where Salgado on vocals, harmonica and piano in one song and Alan Hager on guitars and vocals on a song too, display all their skills and talent, with an acute attack and self confidence You will also find in some cuts Larhonda Steele on vocals, Jim Pugh on piano, Keith Brush on double bass, Russ Kleiner, Jimmi Bott and Brian Foxworth on drums and Carlton Jackson on percussion Thirteen wonderful songs, some of them Salgado’s and Hager’s own compositions, as well as delicious covers coming from Muddy Waters, Son House, Sonny Boy Williamson, Big Bill Broonzy or Reverend Robert Wilkins This is the album Salgado and Hager always wished to release, to share the joy, passion and commitment of those musicians who get the blues running through their veins In Curtis Salgado’s own words: This is the kind of music that really moves me and, fellows, if you do not believe it, check it out for yourselves
