BIO/ REVIEWS

NEAL BLACK, from San Antonio,Texas is one the most important American artists on the Blues scene today....His music is rooted in Texas tradition, but NEAL BLACK is no imitator, He is an innovator. A powerful performer, a gifted songwriter, and a transcendental guitarist .NEAL BLACK is one of the hottest talents to emerge from Texas in over a decade...
JOHN SWENSON / ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE MUSIC CRITIC

Since the deaths of Screamin' Jay Hawkins and John Campbell, Neal Black has been the king of the voodoo blues. Dark, occult themes have always resided in Black's songs, and "Handful of Rain" is no different, with tales of New Orleans black magic running through the album. Now based out of Europe much of the year, Black's incendiary guitar work and powerful vocals place him among the most powerful straddlers of blues and rock going seat him alongside Ronnie Earl and Johnny Winter. With his distinctive, Howlin' Wolf-inflected singing voice and his Texas-styled lead guitar , Black is one of the most intriguing listens in the blues today. Whether you're an old fan who lost track of him or new to his brand of swamp blues, Black's latest album is awfully hard to pry out of your CD player.
