Principato Tom - Really Blue

Facts Upon an initial listen, Washington DC-based guitarist and vocalist Tom Principato seems to fit nicely into the powerhouse blues-rock niche of fellow fingermen like Jimmy Thackeray or Tinsley Ellis. But a closer inspection reveals a subtle melodicism, a half-heard fill note or understated trill that marks a craftsman. Really Blue reflects a player who rams it hard and fast when it suits him, then 180s into lacy aural imagery. -Greg Land, Creative Loafing Atlanta NOTE: IMPORT UPC CODE
