Tommy Castro has been on the scene for years with a tight band and great songs. I wanted to celebrate this great artist by sharing a few live performances that I think you’ll dig. He’s got a killer voice and some good guitar chops, plus he’s a hard working musician just like the rest of us. Plus his band is tight too. I think “Q” (my friend and keyboard player) is going to be a big fan of his organ player because the guy has some pretty serious chops. I hope you dig the videos as much as I did!
I’ll start out with a rendition of his song, “Nasty Habits,” from his DVD called, “Live at the Fillmore.” Check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HLOS2fi2Vo.

Here’s another song from the same DVD called, “If I Had A Nickel.” Check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7ZhPhJV7PU.

Lastly, the Tommy Castro Band recorded some footage from a concert back in 2002. Check out their song, “Guilty of Love,” at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDQ4MfsScug.

These are just a few of the songs that Tommy and his band have produced over the years. I tried to find a good quality version of their rendition of “Me and My Guitar,” but I had no luck. There’s more coming your way at Blues Guitar Unleashed so stay tuned.
Thanks,
Griff

Keyboard player Jim Pugh (sp). Catch him with the Robert Cray Band, too. He is quite a player, but looks like he should be a business executive! Oh, as for guitar players, Tommy Castro is one of my favs!
