Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Pegged as a sort of Bay Area Stevie Ray Vaughan, guitarist Tommy Castro's got the riffs, but his sound's less raw than that of the Texas guitar slinger. There's a bit of soul in there, as well; if Robert Cray were less blues and more rock & roll, he might sound a bit like this. Castro's obviously positioning himself for crossover success, but with material as solid as what's on Can't Keep a Good Man Down, that's in no way a bad thing. His guitar lines are slick without sounding contrived, and there's real sweetness in songs like "I Want to Show You" that make them more than your standard blues-rock semiballad. While Castro hasn't received the level of attention accorded to, say, Jonny Lang or Kenny Wayne Shepherd, it's certainly not for lack of talent. In his lower-key way, he's just as good. --Genevieve Williams

Can't Keep the Listeners Down

Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2011

Verified Purchase

One of the best Rockin' n' Rollin' singer I've heard in a long time. To be honest I had never heard of Tommy Castro, but when I heard one of his songs on a various artists, Alligator Records CD, I had researched his work and found it to be awesome. He sounds a little like Delbert McClinton, in some songs. I can only describle his music as good Rock n' Roll. I have purchased several of his CD's. ALL GOOD!!

Tommy Castro plays some worthy comparisons

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2019

“This is the person who has the voice, the sound, and the intentions, to touch everybody’s heart “ — Carlos Santana”

“...the earthly soulfulness of Albert Collins and B.B King with the polish of Robert Cray.” — Billboard

Those two reviews/comments from someone other than myself do say a lot about Tommy Castro’s 1997 release Can’t Keep A Good Man Down. I, personally, can’t help but make the Kenny Wayne Shepherd comparison. Castro’s vocals probably not as good as Noah Hunt from Shepherds band but ,still , Castro is good and understandable.
Check out song High On the Hog for a humorous and funky Albert Collins sound.
Also, Some real cool modern electric blues on My Time After Awhile; and to me arguably the best blues sound on the album is the instrumental titled Hycodan (google: it is a real drug) where sax man Keith Crossan shines.
Oh, and not to surprisingly, it turns out, Jim Pugh from Robert Cray band adds keyboards on multiple tunes.
Solid 4.3 stars. No duds here.

A Castro Classic

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2012

Verified Purchase

In recent years, Tommy Castro has strayed from the booze drentched, bar-room blues that he lauched his career on back in his ealry days of San Fran club circuit. A tireless touring band, Castro has pleased crowds with his raucous live shows. Some have argued that the charming guitarist, Castro is more sizzle than steak but on this earlier CD there is no mistaking his moxey and ability to ring solid blues out of most every note with this vintage offering. The lead track, "Can't Keep a Good Man Down" is one of Tommy Castro absoulte classics and one of my personal favortes. Vocally Castro has been compared to heavy company such as Wilson Pickett and James Brown. Rich comparisons to be sure, but Castro does pocess a gritty clean voice that, when he stays away from Southside Johnny styled mid-tempo R&B ballads, lends itself best to blues standards and Castro Band orignals. I've seen Castro live and I've got most of his LPs and this one is at the tip of the heap. Other stellar tracks would be the standard spin on "My Time After a While", a tip of the brim to Chuck Berry on "Nobody Loves Me Like You Do" or the philosophical everyman on the road credo 'You Only Go Around Once'. Like the Frisco landmark Candlestick, Castro hits one out of the park with this disc.
