Albert Cummings
media release: Guitar virtuoso Albert Cummings' new album TEN was produced by Grammy winner Chuck Ainlay and recorded in Nashville at Peter Frampton's Phenix Studios. TEN presents an expansive sound venturing into rock, country, soul, blues, and Americana, while Cummings' songs range from wall-ratting tunes to soft ballads, with his rugged, world-wise vocals hitting all the right moods. With thirteen original songs, TEN spotlights Cummings' musical diversity and expressive songwriting. The new album features a guest appearance by Country superstar Vince Gill on the track "Last Call."
PRAISE FOR TEN
"No wasted notes here, vocally or instrumentally, in a conceptually sound project from an artist ascending to a higher aesthetic plane with each new outing." - Absolute Sound
"Blues fans will find a lot to like with this one. And don't be surprised if a couple of tunes cross over to the country market, too. They rock!" - Blues Blast Magazine
"The album features 13 musically diverse tracks with Cummings at home with the countryside of blues. With Ten, it's not so much the blending of genres that speaks the loudest, but it's the songs themselves...well-crafted with compelling melodies and a focus on storytelling." - Rockandbluesmuse.com
"With over two decades' worth of solo releases under his belt, his recorded body of work catalogs a guitarist that has gone from strength to strength. Renowned for his raw, off-the-cuff stage performances, what you see really is what you get with this maestro." - Guitar Player Magazine
"...this is a special album. It's strong songs and thoughtful guitar that transcends genre. Cummings sounds locked in and he seems to know it." - Blues Rock Review
