Fantastic Negrito: Please Don’t Be Dead

You’ll have to go to his website to get the entire background, but take it from me when I tell you that Fantastic Negrito has paid his dues to play the blues. This four song ep is a followup to his previous Grammy-nominated album, and it covers a wide range of colors. His Robert Plant-inspired voice is strong on the 70s metal rocker “Plastic Hamburgers” while his slide guitar mixes with some synth drumming and voices on “Transgender Biscuits.” A choir trudges along like a chain gang on “A Cold November Street” and the raga grooved “A Boy Named Andrew” has an irresistible acoustic pulse. Rich colors of the blues rainbow.
