Texas guitar player Steve Howell is well known for his good refined fingerpickin’ guitar playing, together with a melodious warm way of singing, deeply rooted in rural blues and country-folk Now he comes with his debut album where he is surrounded by the trio he usually plays with, The Mighty Men, formed by Chris Michaels on electric and acoustic guitar, Dave Hoffpauir on drums and Jason Weinheimer on bass All of them give an exclusive character and the appropriate beat to every song included in the album, getting enough swing and a real compact sound to let Steve run free along different musical ways and nuances on a suitable well built repertoire based on the music he likes to play Ten songs that come from some of his musical heros, mentors and old friends As I have just said, the result is perfect for a first album coming from a mature artist who knows well his job and cleverly mixes blues and folk in equal parts
