Album Notes

NOW ON SALE FOR THE HOLIDAYS---LIMITED TIME ONLY!!!

"Twelve Hours" is the ground-breaking fourth CD from one of the world's premier Blues guitarists, Nuno Mindelis. Nuno's Blues credentials are impressive: named "Best Blues Guitarist" by Guitar Player Magazine, two CD's with Stevie Ray Vaughan's band, Double Trouble, and rave reviews for his live performances, from Austin Texas to the 2004 Montreal International Jazz Festival.

The reviewers pull no punches:

"The playing throughout is imaginative, hard, fast and not for the faint of heart. But the rhythm section knows how to play blues; this is not a rock record"--Blues Revue Magazine

"When was the last time you heard this much passion and talent combined? 1983 or 1969 would be an appropriate answer..5 Big Bottles for a CD that'll become a classic in modern blues guitar. Nuno Mindelis has arrived"-- Real Blues Magazine

"A voice like Johnny Winter only better, and a hint of Stevie Ray Vaughan in the guitar...this disc smokes from start to finish!"--Doug Bolin, 105.9 The Rock (Nashville)

"Loaded with Nuno's biting guitar leads, "Twelve Hours" is Nuno's best release to date. His tone and phrasing are killer, delivering tons of passion and feeling. This is a consistently excellent CD." --ElectricBlues.com

The extensive reviews at the bottom of this page say it all: This is a "must have" CD for any true Blues fan.

Nuno's own life journey embodies the Blues. He was born in Angola, and started making guitars as a young child. His family was forced to flee the war in Angola, and for safety Nuno was sent to live apart from his family in Canada for several years. Continuing to refine his unique fingerstyle electric Blues technique, Nuno was finally reunited with his family in Brazil. Now renowned as one of the world's top Blues artists, Nuno has shared the stage with B.B. King, Jimmie Vaughan, Robert Cray, Otis Clay, and Junior Wells, among others. Nuno continues to play to enthusiastic audiences and critical acclaim worldwide.
