ALLIGATOR RECORDS CONTINUES TO DELIVER HOT NEW RELEASES AND KILLER CATALOGUE TO GLOBAL RADIO EXCLUSIVELY VIA AIRPLAY DIRECT

 

Alligator Records proudly presents Stompin' Ground, the high-energy new release from good-time blues and roadhouse rock masters Tommy Castro & The Painkillers. Their infectious blend of funky blues, gritty R&B and hard-driving house rockers, plus a jam-packed schedule of red-hot live performances, have made Tommy Castro and his road-tested band one of the most beloved bands in roots music. Fired by Tommy's blistering guitar and blue-eyed soul vocals, Stompin' Ground features a dozen irresistible tracks split between fresh Castro originals and revitalized versions of songs that inspired Tommy when he was coming of age in San Jose, CA. Guests include David Hidalgo of Los Lobos, Charlie Musselwhite, Danielle Nicole (Trampled Underfoot) and Mike Zito. Find out why the Washington Post calls Tommy Castro & The Painkillers "phenomenal and funky...soulful vocals and inspired blues-rock guitar."

Along with the launch of Stompin' Ground, we've added another nine titles from our vast catalog - classic titles from the Queen of the Blues Koko Taylor, our young blues queen Shemekia Copeland and her inspiration Koko Taylor, harp masters Charlie Musselwhite and Carey Bell, roots rockers The Paladins, Chicago blues legends Luther Allison and Son Seals, visionary acoustic bluesman Corey Harris, and a guitar-slinging super-session of old friends from Texas-Lonnie Brooks, Long John Hunter and Phillip Walker.

Our partnership with AirPlay Direct helps us bring you and your listeners the best blues and roots music from Alligator Records.
