Life’s Blues Soundtrack (a few days late) – Albert Castiglia’s Solid Ground (Video)

Albert CastigliaSo last Thursday was the first day that I ran since back in January. It was a good run and you can read more about it here. The soundtrack for the run was the new release from Albert Castiglia Solid Ground. Solid Ground is seventh release from Castiglia (pronounced ka-steel-ya) and his first on Ruf Records. I caught up with Castiglia’s career back in 2010 when I started this blog.In that year he released Keepin’ On. While writing the post, I listened to not only that album but also his 2008 release  These are the Days, which earned him a Blues Music Award nomination for “Song of the Year” for his original, “Bad Year Blues.”  as well as a nomination by the Illinois Blues Blast Awards for the same song. Albert won that award. Castiglia was also nominated for the “Sean Costello Rising Star Award.” Read More

A Blues Black Friday with Albert Castiglia and James Buddy Rogers!

So yesterday was a blues day. I started the day by listening to the latest release by Albert Castiglia  (pronounced “ka-STEEL-ya”)   Living the Dream.  The album was released back in June and I think that it’s been on the Roots Music Blues Chart since it’s release. This week the album is at 46 dropping down from 29!  I first discovered Castiglia’s music back in 2010 when his album Keepin’ On was released, I immediately became a fan, what a great bluesman! Living the Dream is his third album on Blue Leaf Records and his fifth overall and I think he just keeps getting better and better! Read More

Blues Wednesday- A Day Late-Albert Castigilia

Ok so, we’re at The College of William and Mary sweating and moving my daughter into her new dorm room on the third floor with no air conditioning and thankfully we’re done! Yesterday was the trip down and tomorrow the trip back a little bit of music listening! The one blues album that I did listen to was the soon to be released album by Albert Castiligia pronounced (“ka-STEEL-ya)” Keepin’ On. I had never heard Albert’s music until the other day when I turned on the Blues station on XM Radio and they were playing some tracks from an XM live performance and it sounded great. So I came home and listened to his release before his new albumThese are the Days and really liked it, particularly his cover of a favorite “Loan Me a Dime”. From his website about the new album: Read More
