"Tommy Castro has the voice and the sound to touch everybody's heart." - Carlos Santana

"A gifted lead guitarist firmly in touch with his lyrical voice, Castro writes an alluring blend of straight ahead blues and Memphis-style soul. While he has his own definable sound, Castro calls to mind great blues-rock players such as Billy Gibbons of Z.Z.Top, Stevie Ray Vaughan and even Duane Allman." - Blues Revue

Also available leading THE LEGENDARY RHYTHM & BLUES REVUE with a revolving lineup of All Stars
