Review

Really Blue is an odd title for this offering from guitarist and singer Tom Principato, for while there's a healthy serving of blues on this album, several selections are anything but, in particular "In Another Dream" that rather reminds one of Eric Johnson. On the other hand, it's a good tune, and like the rest of the album, is played with deft, clean execution and a fine sense of style. Principato's rendition of "Walkin' Blues" sounds odd at first blush, but it's got a nice, tight groove, as does "Standing at the Cross Roads Again." And for diehard blues fans, there's "Every Minute, Every Hour" and "Sweet Little Woman," songs that make one wish Principato would sing more. --Genevieve WilliamsUpon an intial listen, D.C.-based guitarist and vocalist Tom Principato seems to fit nicely into the powerbooster blues-rock niche of fellow fingermen like onetime-bandmate Jimmy Thackery or Tinsley Ellis. But a closer inspection reveals a subtle melodicism, a half-heard fill note or understated trill that marks a craftsman. Principato's instrumental work remains mesmerizing, his control and taste meld effortlessly. The closer Here, In My Heart, an introspective solo electric foray, resonates into emptiness---a fitting end to a jewel of an album.
