With ALL THINGS BRIGHT, Carrieri goes even deeper in search of the blues.

Bringing out his virtuosic skills on his own, with the effortlessness of a veritable oneman-

band bluesman at the crossroads, Carrieri is now ready to take his listeners on a

Delta journey of his own making. (To be sure, Alessio Gavioli ably remains on the

drums with the steadiness of a stern wheel.) The result is a deeply honest and farranging

celebration of blues landmarks, from its slide-dominated Mississippi Delta

country roots up to the rag-timey and boogie beats, Hopkins’ talking blues, alongside

Piedmont picking, to the Chicago styles of Carrieri’s exemplars, Big Bill Broonzy, John

Lee Hooker and Muddy Waters.
