Marco is known around the world not only as a producer and songwriter but even as a great guitar player and in this new release he shows the more authentic and genuine side of himself. 11 tracks that give life to a guitar album which is refined and polished while, at the same time, minimal and direct, based upon a production that tends to put emphasis to the “live” spirit of this release.
Far from being an experiment of music archeology, “Blues garage” is the personal interpretation of different kind of blues, where the only trademark is the performance’s and songwriting’s high quality level!…~
Believe me, if I could give this 100 stars instead of 5, I would. Tansini, where have you been all my life? I am in love. Blues Garage has got to be one of the (if not THE) best instrumental albums out there. Every single track will transport the listener into pure heaven. His guitar sings, weeps, and rejoices like nobody’s business, and the background of organ and drums is fabulous. I can’t stop playing this CD and every play gets even better (how can that be??). Oh yes, hear me yell, “Saints alive! And the saint is playing!”
If you love superb guitar playing, and you love blues instrumentals that will dig into your soul, this will knock your socks off. Whew, guaranteed….by..Jenny D…~
This guitarist from Northern Italy has released his second album chock full of interesting instrumentals, all derived from blues in some manner. His song titles are all colors and reflect various shades of the blues including rock, jazz, and beyond. The record started simply enough, but there is a nice subtle melodicism to his playing and his writing that pulled me in. I hear so much of this material, that I often treat it as background music. Yet Tansini has a certain skill to present very simple elegant music and commandeer a listener’s attention. Nicely done! …by…David Hintz…~
