Flamboyant, delicious rocky Texas blues singer and guitar player who, sometimes, has been compared with Johnny Moeller, Rusty Zinn, Junior Watson or Jimmy Vaughan among other great icons of actual white blues artists Shawn Pitman opens his new cd with a Howlin’ Wolf’s song How Many More Years, something very few professional musicians dare to do If we add a faultless performing, full of passion, and a warm feeling, there is nothing more to be said about it, only recommend you to listen to it and then take your own opinion Pittman leads the band with a clever firm hand, on a disciplined work but, at the same time, full of an improvisation skill and a convincing relaxing air that contributes to create an atmosphere that gradually reaches an intense climax The songs included on the cd are attractive enough to complete a really interesting, varied and very enjoyable album You will find, among the fifteen tracks included on the cd, covers of songs cominf from Howlin’ Wolf, Lazy Lester, Jerry McCain or Larry Williams Shawn Pittman on guitar and vocals, Martin Lotti on bass, Emanuel Zamperini on drums and Max Lugli on drums round up the seventh cd coming from one of the most interesting actual Texas blues guitar players
