Black and White and Blues All Over
author: Conerto
Again and again, New York is the offspring of excellent blues of different styles. Without doubt, Paul Zunno and his men have dedicated themselves to an electric-rock-like variant. But nevertheless, they play classical pieces as for example from the post-war Chicago blues. The Latter manifests itself on their album "Black & White and Blues all more over" in a solid version of Willie Dixons "My Babe". Besides his fluent performance on the strings, Paul Zunno himself contributes extremely incisive, husky vocals which convince in particular when the beat becomes a little slower, such as in the groovy blues ballad "I know you're here with me". In these moments a small shot of soul is added; which does not surprise, considering that Zunno as well as bassist Zerrick Foster once performed with Willson Picketts. With their song “Blues in C”, the Paul Zunno Band confirms their abilities on the instrumental level. "Howlin wolf" on the other hand actually is nearly a homage, although the text does not refer to Chester Arthur Burnett. Especially outstanding is the slow, deeply bluesy version of Tom Waits’ “So long I’ll see Ya”. The band’s hallmark is to leave the songs enough space to develop. Very diverse!

Buy this disc
author: Greg Magnanti
This is such a great blues disc that you can't help but wonder how amazing the next one will be. I've been a fan of Paul's for quite some time (first heard him around 1988) and I'm pleased to say he just keeps getting better...and this disc proves it! The originals and covers show how Paul has become a master bluesman and a master blues guitarist. Another great thing about the CD is that he finally has a solid rythm section in John and Z Bass. I highly recommend this disc to anyone that wants to feel what real rockin' blues is all about.
