Editorial Reviews

2018 release. Blues-rock is a tightrope - and Mike Zito has never lost his footing. At times in his storied two-decade career, the Texas bandleader has rolled up the amps and rocked as hard as anyone. Yet his lifelong fascination with the blues has always reeled him back in. And now, having shaken the rafters with 2016's acclaimed Make Blues Not War, First Class Life finds Mike diving deep into the only genre that can do justice to his hard-won true stories of hardship and redemption. "Make Blues was pretty extreme and rocking," he reflects. "This time, I was definitely thinking more blues." First Class Life is a fitting album title from a man who remembers the hard times. "The title track is a nod to where I've come from and where I'm at," explains the songwriter whose promising early career was almost destroyed by addiction. "It's a rags-to-riches story, and it's certainly true. I grew up poor in St. Louis, and now I'm travelling the world to sing my songs. In the world of excess America, I may not look 'rich', but in my world, I most certainly am. I have a beautiful family, I'm clean and sober, and I get to play music."

Mike's new release is a solid album. First Class Life & Make Blues Not War are my personal favorite albums. Shortly after I bought First Class Life, I saw Mike live in Texas. Mike's live shows are killer and his slide guitar work is impressive.

Mike Zito n'est pas un inconnu , il fait partie de la nouvelle scène du blues/rock internationnale , c'est le sang nouveau " young blood " au méme titre que K.W Shepherd , Sean Chambers , Alaistair Greene , et j'en oubli ...
Dixième album studio . Blue room ( 1996 ) vendu su Amazon est son premier cd , en prise live , et sans intérèts , musicalement j'entends . América's most wanted ( 2000 ) , Slow it down (2004 ) et Superman ( 2006 ) sont introuvable en France et leur contenu est un mystère ... La carrière de Mike Zito démare en Europe avec " Today " en 2008 et " Pearl river " en 2009 grace au producteur David . Z ... c'est magic ...
Mike Zito est non seulement un excellent guitaiste , mais aussi un chanteur et compositeur de haut niveau .. il a nettement amélioré sa technique et son jeu dans la décénie passée , mais il est en plus doté d'une voix superbe et chaude .
Dans ce " First class life " Mike Zito ne fait que pousuivre sa route ... evidement , si vous écoutez " Make blues not war " , le son est puissant et net , mais il est produit par " Tom Hambridge " ( John Porter ... donc Buddy Guy ... ) ... Nous revoici chez " RUF " maison allemande ... en plus du changement de formation , le son est lourd , les disparitées sonnores d'enrégistrement entre les divers titres sont flagrantes ... ainsi que le choix justement des titres ... La maison de production a décidée ce duo avec Bernard Allison " mama don't like no wah wah " trop soul/funk , et qui dénature l'ensemble déjà fragile a mon sens ... toujours choisir un public plus large ...
First class life est le titre qui porte ce cd ... une ballade contry/blues , mi tempo , superbement slldé , avec ses chorus habituel ... n'oublions pas " old black graveyard , the world we live in , et dawn shame ... et pour finir un sympathique boogie/rock " trying to make a living " ...
Je vous recommande également , et chaudement , ce " live from the top ( 2010 ) " vendu sur Amazon , une perle , avec des invités prestigieux ( produit par David. Z )..
Et comme d'habitute , à écouter tout celà bien fort et sans modération .
