A.J. Croce –
By Request (Compass): “Over the past three decades, A.J. Croce has established his rep as a piano man and serious vocal stylist who pulls from a host of American traditions and anti-heroes it’s part New Orleans, part juke joint, part soul. While his last album, JUST LIKE MEDICINE, paired him with soul legend Dan Penn and an all-star cast of players, his new album was born of memories of favorite artists and shows, but mostly, of late-night gatherings with groups of friends, many of them fellow musicians, with Croce at the piano taking requests. Croce revisits these musical evenings with BY REQUEST, 12 personally curated covers that traverse decades and genres, propelled by his spirited, loose-and-easy piano mastery and emotive vocals. It’s a tribute to Croce the music fan as well as Croce the musician that both the variety from pop to RnR to soul and execution is inspired, aided by a full band and horns. BY REQUEST is the first album Croce has released

The last time I chatted with Curtis Salgado was back in February of 2017 when he was coming to the Time Out Pub in Rockland for a show on March 6 of that year. He was out supporting his newest Alligator album, “The Beautiful Lowdown.” Not long after our conversation I learned that he had undergone quadruple bypass heart surgery, so when I got word that he was going to have a brand new CD out this month, I really wanted to interview him again, especially seeing that it was called “Damage Control.” I reached him at his home in Portland, Oregon, but before I got the chance to question him about that seemingly cryptic title he shared some pertinent information.
