Sean Costello Tribute

First got to hear Sean's music about five years ago and was hooked in an instant. Sean's songwriting and playing just got better and better with each album - not that the early albums weren't awesome in their own right. I live in the UK and never got to see Sean as I couldnt make the shows in France but I'm sure seeing the great man must have been something very special. The mantle of the "next big thing in the blues" was often banded around and overused but in Sean we had a player where "less definitely meant more". No big long flashy solos just impeccably played guitar - in 45 years of listening to the blues I really feel that Sean had no peers in the current generation of bluesman and his body of work should form a reference for any young player trying to find their way into the Blues scene. I still can't believe it's happened and my heartfelt wishes go out to his family - you can be very, very proud of all the pleasure your son has given to others. The last words are to you Sean, I hope you've found your peace.
