“At his best, Tom Principato is a terror, a master of touch and tone, equal parts craftsman and creator. Principato is at his best throughout most of Really Blue, a versatile effort that showcases the guitarist’s facility for blues, jazz, rock and more....there are more fresh, original ideas on Really Blue than one is likely to hear in an entire stack of new releases by most contemporary artists. Play on Mr. Principato!” –Bryan Powell, Blues Access Magazine 

“Throughout the album, which features keyboardist Chuck Leavell (ex-Allman Bros., Eric Clapton, Rolling Stones) on two tracks, Principato attacks his axe with a relentless vigor, whether playing jump blues, jazzy runs, Delta inspired licks, soulful slow blues or blindingly fast Gatton-esque chicken picking. He is a rare talent--able to please both shred aficionados and blues hounds alike.” —Guitar World Magazine
