CD REVIEW - TOMMY CASTRO - HARD BELIEVER
I was given (ok, maybe I grabbed it) the new Tommy Castro CD, Hard Believer
, to review. I love Tommy's music and have not found a CD of his that I do not like. This one seemed a bit different, but still very entertaining. It opens with "Definition of Insanity." This song is about something that most of us can relate to… Those relationships that we have that we should know will not work. You know there is no way that you should be together, but you just stay. The lyrics of the second song, " It Is What It Is," are just hilarious and features some fine guitar work by Tommy. Some of the lyrics include: 'I've been unconscious, I've been obnoxious, and I’ve been all kinds of things that are hard to spell. I've been a monster, without a sponsor.’ ??? Well, I like it! Tommy’s friend, Stephen Bruton, to whom this CD is dedicated, wrote the song. "Trimmin Fat" is a tune about the tough times most of us face, but Tommy puts some humor into it… 'They do your job in China for 10 bucks a day, you better come in and get your last week’s pay. I didn't lose my job, I know where it's at-everybody's trimmin 'fat.' "Hard Believer,” the title track, is a great tune that brings out the soul in Tommy. In fact, this CD features quite a bit of soul. Tommy does a cover of Wilson Pickett's '99 1/2" and does a great job on it. He also adds some nice rock like “Make it Back to Memphis."I'm not crazy about a couple covers on this CD but the originals are all very good.So, once again Tommy Castro has a CD that you must go buy. So go!
