Daniel Castro No Surrender (CD)

(1999/Daniel Castro) 11 tracks. ' Daniel Castro released his debut CD, No Surrender in late 1999. Produced by Danieland Lee Parvin at Parvin Studios in Pacifica, California, No Surrender features interpretations of well-known blues standards that Daniel put his own twist on, such asa very funky version ofMuddy’s “Got My Mojo Working' and a soulful, moving version of Albert Kings “I’ll Play The Blues For You”, in which Daniel plays a mournful, yearning guitar solo, a fitting tribute to one of his guitar heroes. No Surrender also features six original compositions, highlighting Daniel’s writing talents, including the opening song “On That Telephone” with playful lyrics and a groove youcan really sink your teeth into and “Talk about My Baby,” a song that would sound perfectblasting out the radio while speeding across a long hot Texas desert. No Surrender closes with a beautifully haunting acoustic original composition “Dos Palomas,” dedicated to Daniel’s mother. Listen to this song on headphones and at the end of the song, after Daniel hits the last harmonics on his steel resonator, turn up the volume andyou can hear a choir of angels singing.'
