Blue Eyed Devil Blues

Tommy Castro and the Painkillers The Devil You Know 

Tommy Castro is modern blues rock singer and guitar player who has made a following in my hometown of San Diego. The new album he put out is a new set song about life, love, working, and sins. 

Second Mind gives us a great organ riff to open the song. 

I'm Tired reminds me of the songs from his earlier releases and I really dig it. 

The Whale Have Swallowed Me is a delta blues style song that could have been released during that period and no one would know he's a old white guy.  

When I Cross The Mississippi is a total rocking blues jam. 



For new blues fans you don't need this one but what you should stream is his older works. For old blues fans go buy his first two records.
