Slick and stylish blues rock, setting the vibe to lift you up – to awaken and energise you. Guitarist and songwriter Carmen Grillo captures the crisp organic energy of soulful rock and roll, with the 13 original tracks of his sensational album Walkin’ The Tightrope.
Arrangement matters, and on that note, Takin’ Off is perhaps the best opening track from an album of this season. Leading with softly distorted electric guitar-play, honky-tonk keys, and raspy, impassioned vocals, it’s a snappy and catchy track, with a memorable groove that naturally gets you geared up for the day.
The album continues to hold tightly to its old-school rock and blues vibe, the energy largely upbeat, but with mellows shoulder-swaying gems like Head To Head, and funky big-band alternatives like Dr. in the House, adding a touch of diversity along the way.
Fusing blues, rock and jazz with relatable images and catchy hooks, Walkin’ The Tightrope celebrates the very best in original songwriting and performance, from a Grammy-nominated engineer and guitarist with an unwavering and undeniable passion for the process.
