{"product_id":"tommy-castro-right-as-rain-cd","title":"Tommy Castro - Right As Rain - [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eAMAZON.COM  Tommy Castro plays the blues by the book, but it's a solid text. 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\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Contemporary Blues","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47584242467034,"sku":"250722100","price":28.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/7787\/3626\/files\/RightAsRain_yvcgqy.jpg?v=1770977747","url":"https:\/\/shopmusic247.com\/products\/tommy-castro-right-as-rain-cd","provider":"Shopmusic247","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
