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.

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 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

This is one of my top 3 cd's, definitely. Though it's not pure blues (it's rather a blues/soul/rock mixture of some kind), it's got a great feeling put into it, which is what we want the blues to be, right? There are one of two songs not up to the standard set by the others (particularly That's All A Part Of Lovin You and Beneath The Silver Moon), but the other songs are so good that you don't really care about these. The title song, I Feel So Good (great harmonica piece), Why Don't I Care, Cookie Dough (with Duke Robillard as guest musician) are incredible songs. After hearing them you'd want only to sit back and listen and enjoy. The best of all, however, is Sorry Don't Mean Nuthin'. It's definitaely my favorite song - not only because of the great soulful music, but because of the lyrics. If you know what I mean you know what I mean:) Salgado has felt the blues. He may not play it pure, but he FEELS it!

Buy this CD before anything else, you won't be sorry, I promise!

I bought this CD because I'd heard one song on it and it is now my favorite CD. Every song is delivered with perfection!

I only recently became aware of Curtis when he gave a radio interview during his visit to Kansas City in October. They played the title cut, and I started searching for the CD, which I could find only on amazon.com. I have listened to at least part of the CD every day since. I am completely smitten by this man and his music and will gladly holler "cookie dough" anytime, anywhere.

You want to have a good time?? See curtis live if you get the chance.If you can't then for sure get this cd,you will love it!!I have met him and seen his show a few times..

I've been listening to Curtis live & on disc for years and this is his best yet. It has raw energy and alotta soul. Great work!

I have been a fan of his for years , I have seen he play live once years ago and i have been hooked on his stuff every since

The rocking blues beats in these songs keeps you really bouncing your head to the beat. I was relieved to hear the great Salgado back from the Stilettos days - and Cookie Dough is the best of the best. The only thing better than Curtis is the chance to hear him LIVE. If you get the chance, do NOT miss it - but in the mean time, buy this CD and listen loud.
