Editorial Reviews

A primarily self-taught guitarist, Sean Costello won the Beale Street Blues Society's new talent award when he was only 14 years old. By the time he was 18, he had already released his debut album and contributed tasteful lead guitar work on Susan Tedeschi's Gold-certified debut Just Won't Burn. Widely recognized as a gifted and accomplished guitarist, Sean Costello hear delivers his strongest and most mature effort of his career, balancing his blistering guitar work along with soulful, confident vocals and expertly crafted songs.

The best for last

Just two months after Sean Costello roared back into top form with WE CAN GET TOGETHER comes the shocking and deeply saddening news of his death on April 15th, 2008 - just one day shy of his 29th birthday. I count myself extremely fortunate to have seen Sean perform at the Wachusett Blues Festival in Princeton, MA in Sept. 2005. His energy plus infectious joy in his playing and singing literally blew away the crowd to the point that the following acts simply couldn't measure up. We chatted afterward - I told him about my older sister's passing that May - and he listened with sympathy as he signed a CD to my younger sister, who loves good music and was our older sister's best friend and nurse through the last stages of ovarian cancer. How unfathomably tragic now that Sean has left so young with much accomplished and yet with much more promise unfulfilled. Anyone interested in his legacy should start with WE CAN GET TOGETHER. It features some of his finest song writing (including the infectious title track) underpinning his blazing guitar work and distinctive, rough-edged soulful vocals. It's an album which should have been a herald for great music yet to come. My sincerest condolences go to Sean's friends and especially his family. He was a tremendous, extremely gifted young man. Long may his music endure.

Tight, Raw Goodness

I just found out about Sean a few weeks ago and promptly ordered this album. Having watched some videos on Youtube I was looking forward to his guitar playing and this album does not disappoint. His tone, licks, leads, and general approach yield a beautiful soundscape. When I get an album by someone known for their guitar abilities I've learned to not expect much in terms of songwriting. That being said, these are some the finest blues-rock songs I've heard in a long time and would hold up against just about anything. The song 'Told Me A Lie' stands out especially to me as a great song full of great playing and feeling. The tone of this album is also great, the band is tight and Sean's tone is gritty, rough and great. There is a great rawness to this album that is missing in so much blues music. Sean doesn't shy away from distortion creating something new yet grounded firmly in dirty blues. A great album for fans of good music.

I gave this 5 stars simply because I didn't have the option to give it six. I miss Sean...you can hear his tremendous growth musically, lyrically and I like to think, even as the man that he was. With a lot of musicians, you just don't get that growth of passion for the music that you could always hear in Sean's playing and vocals. Not only would I recommend this to a friend...I continually do and will continue to do so. If you don't buy this, I will think less of you :)

Just by chance and only today I heard that Sean is not with us anymore. I am so surprised and shocked that I am almost speechless. I just wanted to express my deep sorry for such tragic event. Sean was a great artist, a fantastic blues guitarist and blues singer, he was simply a natural talent, one of my favourite musicians ever. I just wanted to thank you very much Sean for all the emotions and the feelings that your music has always made me feel. May you rest in peace.

AMAZING pure and simple this album is amazing such a tragedy his passing. This man was the future of the blues if you ask me. Way better than Gary Clark, what a waste of my time Gary Clark's album was lets hope he is not the future of the blues. Do yourself a favor and get this album an any other available by this man

Sean Costello had the talent, the voice, the artistic charisma to rank one of the best blues players of all time. I'd buy anything that had his playing and singing on it. Can't Let Go is a great tune. His playing, especially near the end of the song.

Love Sean Costello's music! I wish he were still living. Tragic young death. Loved his previous album and this was no disappointment. He was an excellent guitarist, singer and songwriter! Pure talent, creating truly great music!

excellent modern blues-rock album from the late Sean Costello. A sound familiar, yet unique at the same time, which is a rare trait in this genre.
This is a good one; there won't be any more, so check it out.

Another deceased potential Blues Great

Soulful Blues played by an expert guitarist with a vocal range which belied his youthful years The tragedy is that Sean would have gone on to greater acceptance in the Blues fraternity here in Britain if he had lived Great mix of styles and worth investigating if you have not really listened to him and as I only recently discovered this talented but inwardly tortured character

Sean Costello. Geboren 1979 in Philadelphia. Gestorben 2008, eine Nacht vor seinem 29. Geburtstag in Atlanta. Der als Gitarrist des Blues geführte Musiker zog mit 9 Jahren nach Atlanta, mit sechzehn Jahren debütierte er mit dem Album Call The Cops. Seither galt er als eine der großen Hoffnungen des amerikanischen Blues. Bis zu seinem Tod, über dessen Ursachen verschiedene Versionen kursieren, von der fälschlichen Einnahme verschriebener Medikamente gegen sein bipolares Leiden bis hin zu Betäubungsmittelmissbrauch, veröffentlichte er fünf Alben. Alle überzeugen. Sie zu hören ist eine Wohltat, weil Costello es vermochte, mit gekonntem Spiel das Wesen der Songs herüberzubringen. Sein letztes Album We Can Get Together erschien in seinem Todesjahr 2008. Es ist eines der besten Blues Alben im beginnenden 21. Jahrhundert.

Was Costello auf diesem Album gelang, war eine Reife, die viele nie erreichen. Vom ersten bis zum letzten Song handelt es sich um Kompositionen, die mit einer klaren Aussage und einem dieser entsprechenden musikalischen Untermalung überzeugen. Der schnörkellose, teils aggressive Blues, aus dem der Rock immer wieder hervorlugt, mit dem Costello bis dato bekannt geworden war, erhält auf We Can Get Together völlig neue Schattierungen.

Anytime You Want, der Auftakttitel, entspricht noch dem Bild, das Costello geprägt hatte. Knallharte Gitarrenriffs, rhythmisches Staccato und eine raue, heisere Stimme. Same Old Game, der zweite Song, könnte aus dem Bluesrock-Arsenal der siebziger und achtziger Jahre stammen, während Can't Let Go bereits eine Wende zum Balladenhaften enthält, die aufgrund der weichen, melodischen Gitarrenführung wie der sentimental-leidenschaftlichen Stimme nachvollziehbar ist. Told Me A Lie, das folgt, hat bereits die Architektur eines Funeral Songs aus New Orleans. Spätestens hier wird deutlich, das das unvermutete Spätwerk eine grandiose Referenz an die Vielseitigkeit des Blues werden würde. Um nicht vom kompromisslosen Blues in die Ballade endgültig zu verfallen folgt prompt Hard Luck Woman, welches sowohl von der Gitarre wie der Intonation von ZZ Tops Billy Gibson stammen könnte.

Ebenso verhält es sich mit How The Devil, das noch aggressiver und bedingungsloser daherkommt. Da wird aus der Melancholie plötzlich der Überlebenskampf in brütender Hitze. Und schon, dramaturgisch perfekt, folgt Have You No Shame, eine wunderbare, herzbrechende Ballade, die die Zerbrechlichkeit und Vielseitigkeit des gerade noch gewürdigten Raufboldes dokumentiert. Irgendwie wird das Ende einer jeden Schönheit in diesem Song beklagt, und wer stimmte dem nicht zu. Das Gitarrensolo vertont diese Idee dermaßen glaubhaft, das nur noch Gänsehaut bleibt. Going Home zeigt die kaum ausgesprochene, aber fühlbare Nähe zum Soul. All This Time ist das einzige Stück, das mit dem Titel Mainstream bezeichnet werden könnte. Feel Like I Ain't Got A Home erinnert mit seiner ganzen Wucht an den irischen Folk-Blues eines Rory Gallagher und letztendlich, Little Birds ist eine musikalische Referenz an den amerikanischen Süden, in die eine unter der Hitze ächzende Gitarre die Sehnsucht an den Horizont malt.

Sean Costello war ein grandioser Musiker. Er hat es geschafft, vor seinem frühzeitigen Tod ein Meisterwerk zu hinterlassen, das an Qualität nichts verlieren wird. Nicht technisch, nicht kompositorisch und erst recht nichts an Gefühl. We Can Get Together. Sean Costello!
