Contents: "Is Kingfish the future of the blues? This exciting young guitarist, who has swallowed up B.B. King, Jimi Hendrix, and Prince, is one of the most exciting young guitarists of recent years and a savior of the blues!" -- Rolling Stone "Kingfish is sure to be the next catalyst in the blues world." -- Buddy Guy King-sized in both looks and talent! At just 20 years old, he already has this look! Christon "Kingfish" Ingram, the guitarist and singer rumored to be a prodigy in the blues mecca of the Mississippi Delta, makes his grand debut on the prestigious Alligator label! With guest appearances from the legendary Buddy Guy and Keb'm', as if to say, "We're entrusting the future of the blues to you!", and produced by Grammy-winning Tom Hambridge, this masterpiece heralds a new era of the blues! Born and raised in Clarksdale, Mississippi, the legendary crossroads where Robert Johnson supposedly made a deal with the devil, Kingfish has been playing and grooving to the blues since his mid-teens. His guitar-squeezing technique, reminiscent of the legendary B.B. King, became the talk of the town among classic blues enthusiasts, and even Bootsy Collins shared a video of him, saying, "There's an amazing kid!" He honed his skills on club tours and at blues festivals around the world, and after appearing in the film "Sideman," which was released in Japan last year, and the popular Netflix drama "Luke Cage," he has finally made his record debut on the prestigious Alligator label. The album is produced by the talented Tom Hambridge, who has brought Grammy Awards to Buddy Guy and Susan Tedeschi. Eight of the twelve tracks are originals by Kingfish and Hambridge. From the heavy M2 where he battles guitar with Buddy Guy, to the soulful M7 where he exchanges vocals with Keb' Mo', to the "Mojo Workin'"-esque M5 featuring Billy Branch on harmonica, to M11 where he shows his Delta blues heritage with acoustic guitar, and to the "Ain't Nobody's Business"-esque M12 with his soulful, soulful vocals and weeping guitar, every track is fantastic! Recommended not only for blues fans but also for guitar kids of the same generation! Media reviews and more: King-size in both looks and talent! At just 20 years old, he already has this look!
