AJ Crawdaddy ~ Steppin' Out!
Steppin’ Out! represents AJ Crawdaddy’s (Angelo J Rossi) third, Indie Blues effort. His first two records, “Vaporized” and “Slow Cookin'" (below) were both produced, recorded and engineered by Angelo at his Cave Recording Studio, Mixed by Brett Brown and released on Renown Records to critical acclaim. This record is AJ stepping away from producing and engineering duties and breaking with Renown records to work with vaunted Blues Musician, Producer, and Engineer, Christoffer “Kid” Andersen. “It Goes To Eleven”! 11 dynamite tracks of bluesy gumbo consisting of originals and covers, a greasy stew of savory vocalists simmering in tasty horn arrangements with plenty of sweet steely guitar riffs and harmonica spice. Bring your appetite because you will not leave hungry.
