5.0 out of 5 stars White men can sing the blues., March 24, 1999

I just listened to Curtis Salgado's new CD, "Wiggle Outta This", and it delivers. Once again Salgado's rich vocals attest to his inevitable superstar status. His appearance on Conan O'Brien's NBC Show, July 30th, 1997, with Steve Miller (Fly like an Eagle) was only a brief glimpse if this master of soul and funk. As with the extaraodinary CD: "More than you Chew", (Little Charmer, my all time favorite), are a must buy for the collector. Both are Grammy worthy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A true gem!!!, April 3, 1999

For those of you who want to hear a superb blues vocalist master his craft, this CD is a MUST!!. I have had the privilege of seeing Curtis perform live many times when I lived in Portland, Oregon. I can still recall the first time I saw him..I was blown away. This man is an amazing vocalist...massive talent. his phrasing is unique..every note drips with emotion. This CD showcases Curtis Salgado's talents very well. One listen of this CD and you will understand why I hold Curtis Salgado in such high praise. Some of the blues purist may be turned by the more "Funky" blues cuts on the CD, but I'm sure those people will be in the minority. Do yourself a favor and buy this CD.

This review is from: Wiggle Outta This (Audio CD)

This CD is stunning in every way. Comparisons on some of the mid - tempo songs remind me of Stevie Ray Vaughan ( "I feel so good" and Robben Ford (Beneath the Silver Moon). His vocals very much remind me of Australian Slide Blues guitarist Dave Hole, but WITHOUT that horrible nasal irrittation delivery Dave delivers, and Curtis' vocal variation is another plus. On "Sing my Song" you are reminded of the legendary Malford Milligan for the Soulful delivery. The 1st 2 songs I heard of Curtis Salgado were the title track and the creme de la creme "Cookie Dough". You cannot help but to nod your head with a smile on your face during the latter song. The guy is so COOL. I have downloaded a few Curtis songs and only own "More than you can chew" CD, but how the hell could he better this CD? Unlike a previous reviewer, I dont consider "Thats all a part of loving you " as a weak song. It is basic 12 bar Blues, but I could imagine a great time being evident at a party or such like and everyone joining in on the chorus. If there was to be a weak song?!, I would choose "Sorry dont mean nothing". My only criticism is the length of the CD at 40 min. Technology asks for more than that. Otherwise, I highly recommend this CD to anyone. It will not disappoint
