Tommy Castro has bewitched me, he has almost made me mad and even loose control because, although my age, he has got me dance like a wild teenager by listening to this album Four years ago, Tommy Castro founded his band The Painkillers with Michael Emerson on keyboards, Randy McDonald on bass and Bowen Brown on drums and, since that moment, they have not stopped to amaze and dazzle all those who have gone to their shows Now Tommy has decided to release this album with ten songs selected from different gigs that took place in Texas, New York, Michigan and California during year 2018 All songs will make listeners appreciate both the musical creativity and improvisation power the band communicates since they come on stage Songs with genuine blues and rock, performed in a natural fluid way, all developed with imagination and a serious undeniable reliability Passionate singer with an elegant persuasive guitar phrasing, Tommy has chosen a repertoire that covers blues, soul, rock ‘n’ roll or funk and even he dares with a low down blues like Lose Lose where the intensity of this terrific slow blues will catch you, beating down your poor soul with the heartbreaking pain to see you trapped by this kind of blues This is a recording you should not overlook but, if finally you do it, then do not say Zúmel did not warn you
