Matteo Sansonetto, on this showing, is definitely one of the bright lights of the Italian blues scene, and if Chicago blues is your thing, then you will want to give this a listen.
Stuart A. Hamilton – BLUES MATTERS (UK)
Matteo ha fatto tesoro delle lezioni di Muddy Waters e Magic slim.. ma con il dovuto rispetto, va oltre il blues dei suoi ” padri “, dirigendosi anche verso latitudini soul e funky. Se ogni tanto Chicago ha qualche nuova e piacevole folata di vento, sappiate che ora a “soffiare” c’è anche lui.
Silvano Brambilla – IL BLUES MAGAZINE (ITA)
Sansonetto’s conversational tenor gives these recordings a intimate feel..and his soloing is deliberate and assured. Fine performance from all involved, a satisfying set of modern blues e soul!
Melanie Young – LIVING BLUES MAGAZINE (USA)
Matteo has a straight Chicago Club sound, bringing to mind the likes of Buddy Guy, Fenton Robison, Jimmy Johnson.. fine covers, and Matteo’s four originals fit in nicely too. first class Chicago musicians in the backing band..very good
In fact
Norman Darwen – BLUES & RHYTHM (UK)
He sings in a warm, sly, husky voice and plays tasty, minimalist solos, hinting at influences such as Albert King and Albert Collins while displaying the restraint of modern masters such as Jimmie Vaughan and Mike Keller. Sansonetto is clearly a talented writer.
Rhys Williams – BLUES BLAST MAGAZINE (USA)
Matteo, con la sua voce e la sua chitarra, è riuscito a calarsi alla perfezione nello spirito e nell’atmosfera della Windy City producendo un cd di puro Chicago Blues valido e convincente sotto tutti i punti di vista che lo conferma come uno dei nomi più affidabili e dotati del blues italiano.
Stefano Tognoni – IL POPOLO DEL BLUES (ITA)
He shines instrumentally, making his guitar alternately sting and soothe, especially on his own songs
Greg Easterling – CHICAGO BLUES GUIDE (USA)
A young man who clearly means business whenever he straps on his axe and saunters into the vicinity of a mic.
Bill Dahl – CRITIC, CHICAGO BLUES AUTHORITY (USA)
Matteo’s gitaarspel en gave om bijhorende songs te schrijven hebben geresulteerd in een verdienstelijke plaat die zeker de liefhebbers van de jazzy blues zullen weten te waarderen.
Luc Meert- ROOTSTIME (NL)
