The Beast is Back, man if you don't know who Nuno Mindelis is by now then you better get your head out of your ass because the new king of Blues/Rock has arrived and he's not from Austin, Texas but from Brazil and if you don't believe me then just listen to this CD. This is the 4th CD from this internationally acclaimed blues guitarist who's credentials are very impressive: named "Best Blues Guitarist" by Guitar Player Magazine, two CD's with SRV's band, Double Trouble and rave reviews for his live performances, from Austin Texas to the Montreal Jazz Festival, this is one very intense guitarist!

This is the CD that I have been waiting for ever since we lost SRV back in '90, without a doubt Nuno's best stuff to date. Smoldering, blistering, and just flat out full tilt killer blues! Nuno is a master at his craft I can't think of anyone in the game today that let's the blues flow out of him so naturally. This CD is a prime example of why they call him "The Beast"! You can't go wrong with this one, a must have CD for 2003 defiantly a Top10!!! ....The Bandit

One of the best CDs that I have picked up in a while. Great guitar and with real feeling. Love the gritty vocals too. This is a blues CD that would also appeal to blues-rock fans. For example, the song,"Crawling Back", is reminiscent of Jim Morrison and The Doors.

It is a shame that Mindelis is not well known in North America because we are the ones missing out. He is a superb guitarist with a great story. Highly recommended.

Last time I buy a CD on the reviews provided by others. while the previous reviews have this as the best thing since sliced bread, it's pretty much you basic blues, nothing fancy, nor does this compare in anyway to Stevie Ray. While their are a few good blues jams, this CD would not be my first chioice of good blues to listen to. Bats

Save yourself -DO NOT BUY THIS CD IF YOU LIKE GOOD MUSIC!! I only bought this CD because I read some guy's review that compared him to SRV in regard to his playing and singing style. The guy that wrote that is an idiot. This CD is so bad that i cringe when I see the cover. Nuno's tired riffs and half-hearted playing make me want to vomit. His lyrics are terrible. His singing is decent at best; unfortunately he is singing his own material.
The one positive thing that I have to say about this CD is that the picture on the cover reminds me of David Caruso from CSI: Miami. That, and it's not my music. Terrible!
