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!<\/p>\n

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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Thanks,<\/p>\n
