Description
Tone, style and a great sense of groove are what fill guitarist Tom Principato’s CD “House On Fire”. This is a tough guitar album with some cool Hammond B-3 underlining it’s musical current. Lots of guitar edge alongside Principato’s low-down vocals kicks the opener, “‘Til I Get What I Came Here For”, into overdrive. This is a cleanly (self-) produced record. The organ is mixed right up front with the perfect frequency of his Tele alongside of the drums and bass guitar. Principato is a cat that has chops provided by the play-every-night-of-the-week club
Originally recorded in 2003, this 2020 Deluxe Edition features selected cuts from the original release plus two bonus cuts: “Play It Cool” (previously unreleased in the USA) and a stunning live version of “Baptised In Muddy Water”. House On Fire is Tom Principato’s 14th album of 19 to date. Musicians include John Perry bass, Joe Wells drums, Tommy Lepson organ, and cameo appearances by Kevin McKendree piano (Delbert McClinton, Brian Setzer), and Mark “Kaz” Kazanoff sax (Antones house band, W.C. Clark, Marcia Ball).
