Gritty, soulful vocals

Written By Tommy Castro

TOMMY CASTRO & The Painkillers – Killin’ It Live
Texas honky-tonk, his gritty, soulful vocals backed by fiery, blooze-grounded, rocked-out guitar licks. Funky…wailin’. Like channeling Chuck Berry and Duane Allman….Castro spews out frenetic riffs like Billy Gibbons overdosing on adrenaline. It’s all backed by the stellar rhythm section, with McDonald and Brown plowing a groove deep enough for all the cows in Texas to wallow in. Castro bends strings like B.B., wringing out steely licks with a fiery machine gun delivery. It’s always party time with Castro, and your invitation to this one allows you to share in the raucous roadhouse throw-down usually reserved for juke joint habitués.
