Rocco DeLuca is hard to classify into a discrete genre. Playing a dobro like no one else, he sings every song like it's the last song he'll ever get to sing--pouring enormous energy into his music.

(5 out of 5 stars)
"The sound fills up space and carries me away. great vibes!! I liked all the tracks and felt a soulful connection. Neat to hear some of the cuts used out there on shows. Looking forward to their next release."
No problem

"Rocco DeLuca & the Burden is another band that I was introduced to as a VH1 You Oughta Know artist. I didn't know that Kiefer Sutherland was promoting this album, but maybe I'm not alone, as not many people picked it up. And that's a shame because the album is quite good.
I Trust You to Kill Me is one of the most bizarre titles I have ever heard for an album, but you should find pleasure in numbers like "Gift", "Favor" and "Swing Low". "Bus Ride" is a nice romantic tune that's good for listening to on, well, a bus ride, and "Dope" is just that. And if you watch VH1 regularly, then you should already be familiar with the catchy "Colorful".
I wouldn't cry if "Gravitate" or "Soul" weren't on here, but the rest of I Trust You to Kill Me makes it an album worth owning. Pick it up.

"This is a great CD. I "liked" it for several weeks. Then kept it in the car and played it over several times. Now I LOVE it. I heard strains of Led Zepplin on some songs (Rocco can sound like Robert Plant - which is something!). But it is all very original stuff. It is so great to hear a band with talent and creativity. Rocco's voice will blow you away. Also had the privilege of meeting the guys after a performance. I was probably the oldest guy to get my CD signed. But good rock fans never grow too old! Buy this one. You won't regret it."
