Tony Furtado : Golden
Funzalo
Tony Furtado established himself as a prodigious picker early in his career—he won two National Bluegrass Banjo Championships, in 1987 and in ‘91. However, during the course of a 20-year career, he’s deftly navigated through several musical styles, in addition to being a fiery slide guitarist and itinerant folkie. Golden, his 15th full-length CD, is his most polished release yet, incorporating several genres while retaining his inherent charm. The gutsy opener “Toe The Line” is a bluesy rocker that weaves finger- picked acoustic strains with harrowing electric guitars. “Can’t Slow Down” addresses his nomadic lifestyle, blending eerie slide guitar and warm banjo, while “Devil’s Dust” is a heartbreaking, blues scorcher. “Angelina” is a lovely, yearning, Latin-tinged ballad, and the instrumental “Portlandia” showcases his exquisite banjo picking.
