\nMiami raised \;Albert Castiglia \;(pronounced &ldquo\;ka-STEEL-ya&rdquo\;) arrived on the International radar after \;Buddy Guy'\;s iconic harp-blower\, \;Junior Wells\, heard the young bluesman sing and invited him into his solo band for several world tours. He later went on to work with singer \;Sandra Hall. He has been named "\;Best Blues Guitarist"\; by \;Miami New Times\, the respected alternative music magazine and honored by \;Roots Music Report \;with a \;Top Blues Album of 2011 \;and \;2012. \;It&rsquo\;s little wonder that \;USA Today \;was inspired to remark &ldquo\;It'\;s a revelation to discover the thrilling retro-electric blues from this astonishing young guitarist.&rdquo\;
\n
\nAfter the highly successful and critically acclaimed release of "\;Masterpiece"\; on Gulf Coast Records\, Castiglia was nominated for two Blues Music Awards in the categories of \;Blues Rock Album of the Year \;and \;Blues Rock Artist of the Year \;and won \;Blues Rock Album of the Year.
\n
\nAlbert&rsquo\;s new release "\;I Got Love"\; \;was produced by Gulf Coast Records guitarist and co-owner Mike Zito and features a stellar cast of musicians backing Albert Castiglia (guitar and vocals): Ephraim Lowell (drums and) vocals\; Justine Tompkins (bass and vocals)\; and Lewis Stephens (Hammond B3 organ and piano). The new album\, which showcases 11 blistering\, blues-drenched tracks\, is a personal and powerful statement from Castiglia. &ldquo\;I Got Love is a musical essay documenting the last two years of my life: two years of many highs and lows. I went through it all - loss\, depression\, illness\, fear of the unknown. I know I couldn&rsquo\;t have been the only one that went through it. This collection of songs is for those who felt like I did. It&rsquo\;s for those who went down fighting and those who keep on fighting."\;
