Can't You See What You're Doing to Me - Tommy Castro, King, Albert
Get Up (I Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine - Tommy Castro, Brown, James [1]
Tommy Castro is the kind of guy who makes you think, "hard-workin' man." There's no frills or flash on Live at the Fillmore, but one gets the sense that Castro could do that stuff if he wanted to--he just has the good tast... more »e to refrain. That's all right; as it is, Castro and his band are so hot, you can practically hear the music sweat. Judging by the song titles, which include "Lucky in Love," "Can't Keep a Good Man Down," and "Sex Machine," one might get the impression that Castro's got only one thing on his mind, but few musicians can approach the same topic in such a myriad of ways. Besides, Live at the Fillmore also includes a stunning version of the soul-blues ballad "Just a Man," which shows that Castro is as capable of tenderness as he is of full-throttle blues rock. Wholly satisfying. --Genevieve Williams« less

"I really liked all of tommy castro`s studio cd but this did not get it for me,because i like the blues side of him more.There is just to much soul in this cd.IF YOU WANT TO HEAR CASTRO AT HIS BEST GET CAN`T KEEP A GOOD MAN DOWN.This cd does have its moments with a great version of a classic,my time after awhile."

"you can't separate the power of blues and the spirit of soul...and trust me, every lick of tommy's guitar and every shriek or whisper of his raspy soulful voice, will knock you off your feet, and if your booty ain't shaking by the end of the first track, i suggest you have cpr administered immeaditely...buy this cd...you wont regret it one second...better yet see the band live..you will walk away a firm believer...that they are the real deal"

"Tommy Castro rocks. He sings like Delbert & plays guitar like Buddy & Stevie. If you listen to this in you car, be careful to watch your odometer because the uptempo boogie-woogie blues will have you speeding in no time."
Smokin'!

"I had never had heard of Tommy before I picked this album up on a whim a couple of months back. Wow! This guy is what the blues are all about. I listen to a lot of different artists and this is one guy I can truly say has to be heard live...his studio stuff is good, but it lacks the power he displays live. Get this one...you'll not regret it!"
