Critic's Review
Thom Owens, All Music Guide
Curtis Salgado's first album, Curtis Salgado & the Stilettos, captures the vocalist at his very best, storming through a set of originals and covers that fall halfway between gritty Chicago blues and sweaty Stax soul. Salgado had long ago proven that he was a fine singer, but this proves he can do it on his own, without Robert Cray or Roomful of Blues -- not only can he lead a band, but he can write fine songs in his own right.
