Our Take

Album Review: CURTIS SALGADO & ALAN HAGER - Rough Cut

If you thought blues was as tired as your grandad's old record collection, think again! Curtis Salgado and Alan Hager have teamed up to deliver a fresh, raw, and downright groovy album in Rough Cut.

From the first track, you can tell these guys mean business. Salgado's soulful vocals are like a warm hug on a cold day, while Hager's guitar licks are sharper than a hipster's beard trimmer. Together, they create a sound that's as smooth as a glass of whiskey and as bold as a double shot of espresso.

The album is a true homage to the blues greats that came before them, but with a modern twist that keeps things interesting. Tracks like "I Will Not Surrender" and "So Near to Nowhere" showcase Salgado and Hager's musical chemistry, while their cover of John Lee Hooker's "I Want You to Love Me" is a true highlight.

Sure, the album may be called Rough Cut, but there's nothing rough about the production here. Every note is polished to perfection, making for a seamless listening experience from start to finish.

So, if you're looking to inject some soul into your music collection, look no further than Rough Cut. Salgado and Hager have crafted a tribute to the blues that's as infectious as it is timeless. Trust us, this album is the real deal.

About the artist

Curtis Salgado & Alan Hager

Ah, Curtis Salgado and Alan Hager - a duo so smooth, they make butter jealous. These blues legends have been serving up toe-tapping, soul-stirring tunes for decades, and their latest album is no exception. Curtis Salgado, the king of blues vocals, has a voice that could make a grown man cry (and probably has). With a range that spans from gritty to velvety smooth, he's like the musical equivalent of your favourite perfectly aged whiskey - strong, sophisticated, and guaranteed to leave you wanting more. And let's not forget his harmonica skills - this man could blow a house down with one breath. Alan Hager, on the other hand, is a guitar virtuoso with fingers that dance across the strings like they've got a mind of their own. Watching him play is like watching a magician at work, weaving spells with every chord and riff. The combination of his skill and Salgado's vocals is pure magic, a musical partnership that's as timeless as it is irresistible. Together, Salgado and Hager have created an album that's more than just music - it's a journey through the heart and soul of the blues. From the foot-stomping energy of their uptempo tracks to the raw emotion of their ballads, every song is a masterpiece in its own right. So sit back, press play, and let the music of Curtis Salgado and Alan Hager wash over you like a cool breeze on a hot summer day. Trust me, you won't regret it.
