I have to buy this record. It was recommended to me by reliable people from Debasio, and I was expecting good things. Oh, it’s WAY better than I hoped for. This debut album is electrifying. A guy born with completely messed up skin pigmentation (or maybe it’s the vocal cords that are messed up, I don’t know) with the biggest voice-face discrepancy I’ve ever seen, presents a series of bomb songs filled with R&B, Funk, Soul, and killer grooves, that voice just there to then slow things down with the last tracks, showcasing also a magnificent romantic "crooner." Antonio Giovanni Bianco navigates as an excellent singer-songwriter (the entire first half of the record), an outstanding interpreter (Bacharach, his fellow countryman Slim Harpo, Jim Webb, etc.), and also a damn good guitarist, acid and Funkybombastic. While he’s at it, he also writes a classic like "Polk Salad Annie." Amazing, well done, encore.
