  • Description

    'Real Emotional' showcases Curtis Stigers's talent as a writer of original material and as an interpreter of modern standards by Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris, Tom Waits, Mose Allison, Paul Simon, Randy Newman and Hoagy Carmichael.

    "This is my niche, my specialty", says Stigers. "I have a great love and an eclectic knowledge of a wide array of songwriters and musical genres - Rock music and Alt Country and Urban Blues and Folk music and Punk Rock - and I know how to bring them all together into one cohesive sound. I want to follow in the footsteps of my heroes. This is what Ella and Billie Holiday did. This is what Sinatra and Nat Cole did. They've taken the popular songs of their generation and created something new from them."

    Personnel: Curtis Stigers (vocals, tenor saxophone), John Pizzarelli (guitar), Lyle Workman (ukulele), Larry Goldings (accordion), John 'Scrapper' Sneider (trumpet), Matthew Fries (electric piano), Phil Palombi (bass guitar), Keith Hall (drums)
