Skillfully moving between timeless delta blues and jazz interwoven with flashes of heaviness, his immaculate technique recalls guitar heroes such as Muddy Waters and Joe Bonamassa, while his soulful crystalline vocals have the modern bite of The Black Keys or Gary Clark Jr. »The Road Not Taken« is a heartfelt and languorous 7-tracker that feels like a caress to the ears.

Recorded at Matteo Bordin’s Outside Inside Studio (Mojomatics, Omega Squad), »The Road Not Taken« deals with the concept of choice and is divided into a series of reflections on love gone wrong, regrets and mental health. The setting of »The Road Not Taken« story takes us in the Arizona desert, with Little Albert’s inspiring and deeply moving 70s blues rock as a soundtrack. With support from Alex Fernet on bass and Diego Dal Bon on drums, this new album also features a special cover of Louisiana bluesman Little Walter’s celebrated classic »Blue And Lonesome«. Recorded on analog tape, »The Road Not Taken« exudes both a vintage authenticity and an unwaveringly modern attitude.
