From a recent review of his latest, Louisiana Roots and Blues, "...[Peter Novelli] deserves attention as one of the best storytellers in the blues today." Ain't all of them pretty. Not that he's not a killer player with a tight band, but the songs/lyrics will live on. If you have poetry in your soul, there's something to like. The kind of innovative "voice" the Blues kinda needs. Catch hip, starting with a club engagement in the Dominican Republic:

Comes on loud--turn it down. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBHB4BYYdZ4 << Familiar tune *, immediacy of lyrics
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awlPfCsZaWg << automatically like a gent that will not be hurried in his delectation of a beverage... 10 minutes in front of home folks Huge shout-out to whoever filmed and uploaded this
