Today's album for the #zot2016 review is a little gem not to be missed by fans of Mark Lanegan, Nick Cave, and so on.

Hugo Race Fatalists - 24 Hours to Nowhere (Glitterhouse)

The third studio album by Hugo Race with the Fatalists (his current band, which includes the entire Italian lineup of i Sacri Cuori) is, as previously mentioned, a small gem in the rock-blues genre, created by an artist who, like few today, masters the genre with his own peculiar and immediately recognizable style, being both a great interpreter and an excellent musician. The album features eight new tracks and two covers ('It’ll Never Happen Again' by Tim Hardin and 'Ballad of Easy Rider' by Roger McGuinn/Byrds). A collection of songs characterized by a typically noir atmosphere, where the arrangements are both elegant and typically filled with those blues pulses and reverberated echoes found throughout Hugo Race's vast discography. It's hard to say if this is one of his best works, because in my opinion, he rarely misses: a must-listen.
