Guy Tortora - Going Down Slow (Part II)

DCA Blues Music Studio is a channel bringing you the best in old and new late-night blues and jazz music. Mixing sound and visual effects to enhance your overall enjoyment of each tune. Artist: Guy Tortora Band Title: Going Down Slow (Part II) Album: Footnote to the Blues Released: 2002 Born & raised in Pasadena, California, Guy Tortora is currently based in London, in the UK. Guy is a guitar player of some accomplishment and a distinctive songwriter. On both acoustic and electric guitars he plays finger style, and is a fine bottleneck and slide player. His playing is not the flashy guitar-slinger style beloved of bluesrockers everywhere, but understated, and leaves room for the songs to make an impact, whether his own or the “covers“ he performs that include many old standards and traditional tunes as well as songs by more recent American writers such as Eric Bibb or Kreig Viesselman. Footnote to the Blues is definitely not an album of run-of-the- mill blues and
