    Valoración: GREAT

In each new release, singer, guitar player, producer and composer Mike Zito becomes more intense and self-assured but, at the same time, more mature, well settled and, over all, with a more creative skills Far away are the days when alcohol and drugs almost destroyed, not only his personal life but also and by extension, his promising career Today, Mike enjoys a calm life and devotes his time to music and his family, which is reflected in the new album title, where he has left the most aggressive rock-blues to explore the roots of traditional blues and Americana music with conviction and the passion of a man who enjoys what he is doing and still has much to give Despite the apparent simplicity of the new repertoire, the album has been built on solid foundations that show good taste, experience and knowledge The contribution of the musicians who back him is more than remarkable and add a favourable stamp to the album final result These musicians are Lewis Stephens on piano, Fender Rhodes, B3 and Wurlitzer, Terry Dry on bass, Matthew Johnson on drums and the special collaboration of Bernard Allison on guitar in the song Mama Don’t Like Not Wah Wah remembering Koko Taylor, who did not want her band guitar players used pedals or other effects as Bernard liked to do
