Curtis SALGADO & Terry ROBB - Hit It 'n Quit It 1996

Blues

Imagine some good friends getting together at the neighborhood watering hole and the mood strikes them and those present to start playing and unleashing deep feelings right then and there without prior anouncement; spontaneous creativity is the result! This is what you have here and what art is all about, on the spot playing for feel not looks! This is hard to achieve on disk but the people involved on this project captured the moment that can be enjoyed over and over!

Curtis SALGADO - Clean Getaway 2008

Curtis SALGADO - Clean Getaway 2008
Label: Shanachie

Blues

The title of Clean Getaway refers not only to Curtis Salgado’s leadoff track, but also his escape from death. The blues-soul singer/harpist was diagnosed with both liver and lung cancer in 2006 and given eight months to live. His miraculous recovery and return to recording two years later is in itself a clean getaway. Regardless of the compelling back story, this remains a highlight in Salgado’s already impressive catalog. From the rollicking, horn enhanced jump blues shuffle of "What’s Up With That" to an emotional cover of Al Green’s "Let’s Get Married" and a thrilling slow dance take on a lesser known Smokey Robinson gem "Who’s Lovin’ You," Salgado throws his heart into this music. Assistance from members of the Phantom Blues Band provides a sturdy foundation, but it’s Salgado’s show and he’s in fighting form. A tribute to the King of the Blues cleverly utilizing B.B.’s song titles as lyrics over a standard King progression is never as corny as the concept sounds. Salgado’s R&B roots are evident in his graying, grainy voice on the swampy "My Confessions" where he moans to his "obsession" over a skeletal heartbeat snare before launching into a bone dry harmonica solo. Eric Clapton’s "Bottle of Red Wine" gets revived with a rocking, lively treatment from a soul survivor who knows a thing about life and revival.
