Tommy Castro has long been a disciple of both Stax/Volt-era R&B and the electric blues of the Texas and Chicago schools, and on PAINKILLER he synthesizes those influences perfectly. Whether on the Wilson Pickett-esque "I'm Not Broken," the classic rock boogie of "I Roll When I Rock," or straight-ahead blues such as the cover of Albert Collins's "A Good Fool is Hard to Find" (which features guest Coco Montoya), PAINKILLER is full of hard-driving, horn-sweetened, electric guitar-fueled barnburners. Castro's stinging leads are featured throughout, but what most impresses is the overall musical punch packed throughout this blast of blues and soul.

This is, perhaps, the one. Derek Trucks has been on an aesthetic quest for something since he began his own recording career in 1997 -- apart from his membership in the Allman Brothers Band. Each record has gone further into establishing Trucks not only as a slide guitar wizard (that happened when he was still in his teens), but also as a serious songwriter, fine arranger, and bandleader. The Derek Trucks Band, as evidenced by the release of 2003's Soul Serenade, is a unit -- a band -- whose core has been together for eight years. They create an atmosphere, a sound, a musical sense of place and community. On Live at the Georgia Theater (available only on the Internet), the DTB performed with new vocalist Mike Mattison, who gave them something they needed: a strong, utilitarian presence that could be as diverse and adventurous as the band was musically. This album's ...

From the moment Tommy Castro and his band began playing their distinctive blend of blues, soul, and rock, in and around the San Francisco Bay Area in 1991, fans and critics alike have been enthralled both by his exceptional song writing ability and his passionate performances. One of America's leading blues publications, Blues Review, said, "Castro's energy and charisma leap right out ..." Musician Magazine said of the San Jose, California native, "Castro could be a star", and Playboy gushed, "Worshipped for his guitar virtuosity, Castro throws a bit more rock and two bits of soul into his basic blues mix... He has the voice, the band and the guitar to pull it off." Hailed from the outset as one of the most electrifying and compelling live acts working today, (he's been an indispensable ...

BAJANDO GERVASSIO was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Traditional Tropical Latin Album.
Though there's plenty of percussion on this Buena Vista Social Club alum's superlative solo debut, this isn't strictly a percussion album. Rather, it's a session led by Amadito Valdes that serves as a showcase for both Valdes and the talents of Juan De Marcos's Afro-Cuban All-Stars, a group that glides through a succession of mesmerizing songs and instrumentals. These remarkable tunes range from the flute-led ...

I grew up to be a fun driven, spur of the moment, and eager to get my hands on anything that would enable me to put a smile on someone's face, type of girl. I was influenced by the mood of nature, and the spontaneity of human emotion. If I could charm you, that made my day. With such ongoing jovial energy, my mother figured she'd better put her daughter in an active program where she could exert all that energy and creativity. So “little Raistalla” at the tender age of six was enrolled in dance, music and voice training from elementary school to high school. Tap couldn't have been the better dance form for me to learn first, as my key forte of today is that of sound and movement combined. “I am the sound and the movement.” Ballet, Jazz, Musical Theater, Modern/Contemporary, Hip Hop, African, and many other forms of dance soon followed through the years leading to my career as a professional dancer. After performing for several years as a professional dancer in the Dance entertainment industry, the time has come for me to transform and emerge as an artist and take center stage as a singer/performer. My debut album, “RAISTALLA,” was experimental; basically a tool for me to physically show my transfer from dancer to singer/performing artist. It enabled me to put many different characters and abilities on display for people to understand what I want to do. "I'm a performer; I become the scenario and manifest it through music and dance."I have toured Japan, and performed in NY, and LA promoting my debut album. I feel now that my album has served its purpose. Now I have found the direction to take my new sound to the next level. It’s called “Electro-Funk!” It's an exiting fusion of Funk, Pop, and Electronica. Apart form the album, my single “Shut It Down” released in 2007, represents the “over the top, in your face” party MC who just wants to make you dance. You can hear samples of each song on my website. It will give you a taste of my talent. My first video is now released, and can be viewed on www.myspace.com/raistallamusic, www.youtube.com/watch?v=znJqAbAM64s, and on my website, www.raistalla.com.I WON "Best Audience Winner" that is the "most voted" for my video, at the Digifestival 2007 in Florence Italy. You can check it out here: http://digichannel.net/index_artist.php?cat=3&subc=17&art=28&video=24. I was also one of 6 finalist on "WE ARE LISTENING.org" round 3, for best video; and thanks to Musicgorilla.com, I have been selected for the MTV's ...
