Stef Paglia – “Never Forget” – cd & lp – Self-Release

Stef Paglia got into The Blues by his father, R.I.P. He died unfortunately in 2014. By the age of 12 he was grabbing for the first-time a guitar. He is definitely off course best known as guitar-maestro of The Blues Bones. By his continuing axe-career he was influenced also by additional styles from rock to funk. He has jammed with great artists like Laurence Jones, the Nimmo Brothers and been a member in the group of Sean Webster live. By 2018 he was joined by Joel Purkess on drums and Geert Schurmans on bass to found the Stef Paglia Trio. And in 2019 here is “Never Forget” as first cd & lp for your enchantment!

“Watch Out” starts by a short intro the Mississippi Delta Blues Style and melts into a diversified heavy blues-rocker with slow sensitive passages. By his guitar wizardry Stef manifests that he is definitely a fan of Jimi Hendrix and he sets his wah-wah pedals in activity. His voice is strong with a sweet touch. By the sing-along refrains this will be definitely a live-favourite to communicate with his fans. The second track “Take Me” is culminated by the bluesy jam-passages. The phenomenal rhythm section by Joel and Geert provides hell of a rhythm-groove sound-floor by their funky escapades. No feet can stand still by these… A song to flip out. By “The Dead Tree” Stef manifests what a awesome, diversified composer he is. “Mystery Heaven” is a love-tune for romancers, utmost sensitive and melodious by the slide-guitar extravagances. The absolute peak of “Never Forget” as broad instrumental. By “Twilight” the Trio was in the mood to blues’n boogie. “Dirty Woman” is absolutely puttin‘ its spell on you by the chants of Monsieur Paglia and on top the countryesque twangs. By his solo he lets his axe frak-out and Joel and Geert are able to manifest by their solos what a hot vibe-duo they are. By “Head Into The Unknown” Stef and mates were in the mood to blues-rock the Texas style. “Warmth Instead Of Cold” is by the calm passages absolutely thoughtful and Paglia’s six-string plays even have a jazzy note. In controversary Stef’s guitar solos in the heavier part are ever so sensational and shiny. Phenomenal, rousing conclusion!

The meaningful lyrics are by his girlfriend Iris Theunissen.

The sound-producer for the superb sound was no one less than fantastic drummer Wayne Procter.

Never Forget” by the Stef Paglia Trio a great oeuvre and proof of Stef’s creativity escorted by the exceptional musical twosome of Joel and Geert!
