"Ladies and gentlemen please stand up, we are in the presence of one of most talented blues guitarist ever appeared on the scene! If you take into account that he was only 16 years old when he recorded this true masterpiece, you should wonder what he would be able to deliver when he will be more mature. I have no doubts, Sean Costello is the future of the blues. He plays with the intensity, the feeling and the ability of a true master, his solos are always very well built and balanced, his technique is terrific, his tone control is perfect and his use of the vibrato is stunning. Just listen to "Blues para mi Angelita" or "I'm leaving" and you will realise that I am not joking. His style reminds me something of the great young Peter Green perfectly mixed with a touch of B. B. King and a hint of Ronnie Earl. No concessions to any other gender in his music just "pure", "traditional" blues, from Chicago stile to Delta to West Coast jumping blues, all played with great feeling and respect for the great masters of the past. He must have been grown up with milk and "Muddy Waters" by his parents! I am very pleased to see that the future of the blues is in good hands"
