Sean Costello performing Hard Luck Woman
A few weeks ago, I received a review copy of Sean Costello’s new album We Can Get Together. I was literally just about to start writing up some thoughts on the music when the news crossed the wire of his untimely death Tuesday.
It’s a great album, worthy of inclusion in any blues fan’s library. It’s especially good for long car rides when you just gotta keep going. Just be careful of the lead foot. Last time I drove back from our house in Vermont while it was playing, I found myself edging up to 80 mph more than once.
Some of my favorite cuts: Can’t Let Go, Same Old Game, Hard Luck Woman, Have You No Shame and Going Home. Hear the album on MySpace.
I’ll leave you with some words from the press release issued by his record label Delta Groove. I couldn’t say it any better:
As blues music fans, we unfortunately grow somewhat accustomed to the sadness of the inevitable passing of musical elders after long and fruitful careers. Losing someone as young, vibrant, and talented as Sean, who had accomplished so much in just a few short years and still had so much potential, is a terribly difficult blow, not only to those who knew him personally, but for the music community as a whole.”
