Dean Zucchero – Songs For The Sinners

Less than two years following his Billboard #1 Blues album debut, 'Electric Church for the Spiritually Misguided' (2023), New Orleans bassist, songwriter and producer Dean Zucchero is at it again with a collection of powerful and poignant original music. 'Song for the Sinners' boasts 12 compelling tracks all written, arranged and produced by Zucchero himself.
 
This blues-inspired euphony is elevated by a luminary cast of guest vocalists and instrumentalists including the legendary Bobby Rush, Mike Zito, Victor Wainwright, Albert Castiglia, John Németh, Jimmy Vivino, Little Freddie King, John Boutté, Glen David Andrews, Sean Riley and more.
 
On the musical front, the record delivers enticing grooves and melodies from various genres of the 60s and 70s—Zucchero’s symphonic sanctuary. The lyrics of the songs traverse a varied poetic landscape, with destinations including the slide out of co-habitation, patricidal nightmares, Saturday Night hookups, bereavement, centerfold romance, Taoist revelations, horny alcoholic wives, suicide and more.
