Product Details

Castro has spent decades earning his place in the lineage of West Coast soul-blues, building a reputation as one of the most electrifying live performers in the genre. This project finds him stretching into narrative territory, crafting a song cycle that draws on the classic tradition of the bluesman's journey, a story as old as Robert Johnson's crossroads and as immediate as any honky-tonk heartache you've lived yourself.

Internationally beloved soul-blues rocker tells a timeless tale of young man bitten by the blues bug. He masters the craft and sets out for fame and fortune, only to realize that what he left behind is what he's been looking for all along. An infectious collection of songs that stand on their own tell the story in vivid lyrics backed by Castro's patented roadhouse rock, soulful ballads and deep, greasy grooves.
