Customer Reviews of This Album/CD |

 disappointment
Submitted on: 2009-11-13 |
|
| I sampled some of the music on this CD before making the purchase. I should not have bought it. It is not nearly as good as I thought it was. Just never quite hit that "musical spot" that gets the smile going or the toe tapping. |

Hard Believer Delivers Over and Over
Submitted on: 2009-09-16 |

| Tommy Castro delivers a great combination of originals and uniquely arranged covers on "Hard Believer". If you like the blues or soul or R&B or rock&roll, you will like this CD. Tommy's guitar riffs, his soulful vocals, and the horn arrangements come together beautifully to provide a number of tracks that you will want to listen to over and over. Tommy has risen to the occassion to pen some really good songs for this CD with "Definition of Insanity","Monkey's Paradise", and "Trimmin' Fat" standouts in my mind. Throw in a rocking blue eyed cover of a Wilson Pickett classic, a moving version of an Allen Toussaint number, and a fresh approach to Dylan's "Gotta Serve Somebody" and you've got a CD that covers all the bases. Best of all, I am so glad Tommy put "It Is What It Is" on this CD. What a fitting tribute to the late guitar legend and inspiration to many, Stephen Bruton. |

| You don't want to rip one or two songs, you want to listen to all of it. One of Tommy's best yet. |

 Where's the fire?

| Tommy Castro was once a guy who mixed soul, blues, and rock into a great package. He was like an edgier Huey Lewis. But the last few albums have really dropped the rock and lost the edge. This is full of well-played mid-tempo snoozers. It isn't until Make It Back To Memphis that the tempo gets pumped and things get a'happenin'. For those who like slow soul ballads, this album may work for you. It's just not my cup of tea. |
