Tony Gallo is a singer out of the male “saloon singer” class who takes a Jazz-pop direction on his debut Record Something To Say, that is a lot of fun. Innovative interpretation and vocal tones coated in class describe the contents of Tony Gallo’s work. Gallo has a strong tenor to baritone range with the right amount of style that works well within the variety of music he and his flexible band plays. In covering jazz, R&B, and pop covers the selections are given stylish treatments that exude familiarity, yet still pronounce an air of freshness. Along with a group of multifaceted musicians who with every cut compliment the panache of the project, this effort brings one back to that Bourbon Street feel after midnight, very smooth with a clean delivery. The CD concludes with a fresh take on Steely Dan's ever cool “Black Cow,” which is complete with tight horns, soulful background vocals, and just the right vibe.
