\nAlbert Castiglia \;(pronounced &ldquo\;ka-STEEL-ya&rdquo\;) arrived on the International radar after \;Buddy Guy'\;s iconic harp-blower\, \;Junior Wells\, heard the young bluesman sing and invited him into his solo band for several world tours. He has been named "\;Best Blues Guitarist"\; by \;Miami New Times\, the respected alternative music magazine and honored by \;Roots Music Report \;with a \;Top Blues Album of 2011 \;and \;2012. \;Blues Blast'\;s \;Kim Derr \;call it "\;the best album I'\;ve listened to this year"\;.
\n
\n&ldquo\;It may be a bit premature to crown Albert Castiglia America'\;s newest King of the Blues\, but there'\;s little doubt that he at least deserves the title of heir apparent.&rdquo\; - \;Miami New Times

\nAsk Castiglia what it takes to become a good Blues player &\; he&rsquo\;ll say you have to go to the "\;college of the Blues\,"\; Chicago! And that&rsquo\;s where this young guitar slinger spent several years honing his craft and learning from the masters. \;When he \;finally returned \;to his South Florida stomping grounds\, he found himself to be an in-demand player with a large fan base. &ldquo\;Playing in Chicago is just like going to college\,&rdquo\; Albert says. &ldquo\;It&rsquo\;s the equivalent of going to Harvard to study law. For me it was the greatest educational experience I could have. I went and played and saw what the Blues is really all about and was exposed to many different styles.&rdquo\; \;
\n
\nAlbert&rsquo\;s new release "\;Masterpiece"\; was recorded at MARZ Studio in Nederland\, Texas with musician/producer \;Mike Zito. &ldquo\;Albert Castiglia is pure emotion. He wears his heart on his sleeve and lets his guitar do the talking&rdquo\;\, says Zito. Masterpiece is a raw\, deeply personal album for Albert who recently lost his grandmother but simultaneously discovered he had a daughter. This significant life altering event was the springboard for Albert to hone his songwriting skills on Masterpiece with nine deeply meaningful original songs.
