It happens more and more frequently, within the music industry, that many bands that have not recorded a studio album for a while tend to buy their time by releasing a live record in the interim, in the aim to keep the fans still interested in said band.
Very often, though, because of a disinterest in investing money and time curing the level of the overall quality of the finished live product, those bands end up sadly delivering a very lacklustre record, risking, as a consequence, also to lose some of their fans along the way.

The guitar is a marvellous instrument. No matter whether an artist is playing either an acoustic guitar or an electric one, if said artist is gifted enough, then the guitar will be able to transport the imagination of the listener to any place in the world that may look unreachable to us, thanks to the inner power of that guitar playing.
Somebody that knows very well how to create the aforementioned sensations through his remarkable talent, as a guitar player, is the Italian Virtuoso Matteo Mancuso, an artist whose career, especially in the last three years, has reached already some impressive peaks of appreciations from media, fans and fellow artists too.

One of the most challenging aspects for a Blues or Blues/Rock artist, in our website's opinion, it is to keep on being true to oneself, year after year and album after album, by not necessarily having to repeat themselves, in order to be successful but instead, progressing in their musical journeys without sounding repetitive and one-dimensional.
Perhaps there might not be a recipe or a specific path to be followed, when it comes to maintain one's musical integrity and, in that respect, instinctive certainly plays a vital role, for an artist.
