In today's field of blues we have a lot of styles to choose from. Lets say that you like your blues mellow and cool, then it's simple that Etta James is your fancy. For every expression there is a few listeners and for every listener there are a million noises in between. Picking and weeding through the many "artists" to suit your desire will cause agony and pain (surly when it comes to them middle of the road artists that really haven't found a style) unless your one of the few people like me that love it all. New artists Paul Zunno make his review easy. I will simply say that if you like your music hot and rockin' the Paul Zunno Band would fit the bill clearly.

Though I'm used to a lot of rock CD's coming my way, this one stands out. Paul is an outstanding blues/rock n' roll guitarist that has a ton of edge. With the gritty vocals and distorted guitar they certainly have a sound of there own. It certainly wouldn't surprise me if I hear a lot about them in the future.

Based in New York City, The Paul Zunno Band takes blues rock for a ride through today's comtemporary landscape. Backbeats and a gritty lead vocal deliver a 41-minute program that includes Willie Dixon's "My Babe", Tom Waits' "So Long I'll See Ya" and eight originals. Their "Blues in C", the session's lone instrumental number, features the leader's expressive guitar, weeping and moaning with vocal-like phrasing. Zunno sings an eclectic program, borne from the blues and tempered by hard rock. His gritty voice and magic guitar provide a thrill on this their third album. With powerful backbeats and throbbing bass lines, the band excels. The high point of the album comes in the form of an original, "You Were Right/ I Was Wrong." Zunno's slow blues ballad would convince even the hardest heart. His fiery passion and the band's veteran enthusiasm enhance this contemporary album with a powerful spirit.
