On numbers like \"Right As Rain\" and \"I've Got to Change,\" he applies the rules of Memphis soul: horns, organ, a chorus of background singers, plus his own signature combination of shouted vocals and spare, driving guitar. The rich, saxlike tone of his crashing chords on the title track is a gas, and its solo comes in thoughtful, climbing phrases. That's a technique for building excitement he shares with fellow San Francisco Bay Area bluesman Robert Cray. Castro's just as comfortable with an old-fashioned shuffle like \"Kickin' In,\" where his guitar purrs through a warm-butter solo before a big-chorus finale. Castro's trouble is that he lacks restraint. There's always a big chorus or a powerhouse chord in the mix, and his constant shouting bludgeons the emotional resonance of his lyrics. So a potential heartbreaker like \"If I Had a Nickel\" becomes merely a brass-knuckled punch to the eardrum. --Ted Drozdowski\n\nProduct Description\n\nTommy Castro has quickly emerged as one of the hottest, most exciting new artists on the blues scene.
