Booking Contact: Leo Gale Phone: 561-818-4335 USA Albert Castiglia albertcastiglia.com Email: [email protected] Albert Castiglia Albertcastiglia.com Albert Castiglia: Living the Dream From the intro electric guitar riffs that kick off the opening track of his new CD, Living the Dream, which is due out June 12 on Blues Leaf Records, blues guitarist/ singer Albert Castiglia announces that this release is something special. And throughout the rest of this impressive new album from the guitar master and former band leader for the legendary Junior Wells, Albert Castiglia delivers big time on the promising steps he’s taken on his previous CDs. Living the Dream sports an even-dozen tracks dripping with soulful, searing blues, the product of his energetic guitar work - alternatively pensive and reflective, then filled with sparks and fire – melding with a vocal style that pays tribute to the masters, but clearly stamped with Castiglia’s own, inimitable sound. Included are five Albert Castiglia originals, plus a song from long-time cohort Graham Wood Drout (Iko-Iko), along with distinctive covers of tunes from artists such as Freddie King (“Freddie’s Boogie”), Little Richard (“Directly from My Heart to You”), Paul Butterfield (“Lovin Cup”) and Mose Allison (“Parchman Farm”). Living the Dream was produced by Ben Elliott, recorded at Showplace Studios in Dover, New Jersey, and features backing by Albert’s regular band of Bob Amsel on drums and A.J. Kelly on bass. Special guests include John Ginty on keyboards, Sandy Mack on harmonica (who also played on Albert’s last CD), Juke Joint Johnny Rizzo on acoustic slide guitar, with Emedin Rivera once again adding his special Mojo on percussion.

Rick has done what many agents only wish they could do: he gained the undying love and respect from every one of his artists. And it's mutual. An honest hard work ethic and a love of music has propelled Intrepid and their clients to success. The accolades from his artists would make Rick blush. I've heard stories from many of them, and each has at least one instance they were able to point to and say "Rick Booth was there for me", "Rick Booth took a leap of faith with me", "I owe Rick Booth more than I can ever explain..." That kinda says it all.
