Albert Castiglia Band at Blind Willie's

CRITIC’S PICK:
Fri., July 18
Albert Castiglia Band, Blind Willie’s — This is blues/soul/rocker guitarist Castiglia’s third appearance here in the past year, either he loves the place or the club loves him. And the fertile Atlanta blues community loves him right back. He always delivers the roots-rocking goods, adding humorous between-song observations of his life and how the tunes were created. Castiglia’s sizzling solos never overstay their welcome; his originals are tight and crafty. He has plenty of material, too (about a dozen studio albums since his 2008 debut) but will focus on his release from last year, the rollicking Righteous Souls, one of his finest. — Hal Horowitz
