Wizard Releases “Someone Like You”
|
|
Albert Cummings, a rare talent renowned for his
uniquely muscular yet polished guitar wizardry, has released a new studio
CD entitled Someone Like You. The album was produced in Los
Angeles by Grammy-winner David Z, and features special guest and labelmate
Jimmy Vivino (bandleader on the Conan
TV show) on three tracks.

Producer Z, who’s worked with Buddy Guy, Prince, Jonny Lang, and Gov’t Mule,
said, “Albert Cummings writes, plays and sings the blues like nobody
else. What a blast to watch him jell in the studio with some of the
best musicians in Los Angeles.”
Master builder
turned master guitarist, Albert has become a favorite of fans who love
soulful, explosive rocking blues. Double Trouble, the late Stevie
Ray Vaughan’s rhythm section, was so impressed with Albert’s talent that they
volunteered to play on and produce his debut recording in 2003.
Billboard said his “guitar
work is sizzling.” Guitar
One exclaimed, “He attacks his axe with unbridled ferocity
and deep soulfulness.”
And in an audio
exclusive, noted publication Guitar Player is premiering one of the new tracks
on their website – “Meatlocker” (an instrumental featuring Albert
and Jimmy Vivino) HERE.
Cummings said, “I’m tremendously excited about this CD and the team of
people that will be working this record. It was such a pleasure to also work
with David Z and Jimmy Vivino and so exciting to share their excitement about
the potential this record has.”
