Description
Tommy Castro’s return to a stripped-down sound comes to its gritty, no BS fruition on “Method to My Madness,” his new album on Alligator Records.
The San Rafael blues man fearlessly puts his impassioned vocals and gutsy Stratocaster work front and center, beginning with the rousing, idealistic original “Common Ground” that kicks off this collection of a dozen tunes that are like a primer of blues and R&B styles.
