High-energy roadhouse rock
Bluesman Tommy Castro demonstrates that his blues chops and ability to work a crowd are as strong as ever. On a collection of tracks that mixes blues with rock and a touch of soul, Castro and his road-tested band always sound like they’re in their element. High-energy roadhouse rock…warm, gravelly vocals. The ensemble playing is impeccable. The sound is absolutely airtight. Greasy, no holds-barred blues. Castro’s a top notch showman. Killin’ It Live captures the sound of a band that clearly loves being on stage. When Castro kicks off a tune in front of a room full of blues lovers, you know there’s no place he’d rather be. His joy and enthusiasm shine on every track, and that makes for one outstanding live album.
