As I have reviewed artists from all over the world, I have discovered what would ultimately become some of my own favorite artists. I have been surprised by just how many great blues/rock artists and bands there are in places I never imagined I would find them. Two of my personal favorites hail from Italy, that being Lello Panico and Tolo Marton. Though each is remarkably talented, Marton is especially gifted.
Today, I add a third name, that being Maurizio Lauroja, to that list of impressive Italian bluesrockers. "Heaven Or Hell" is the debut solo effort of Italian veteran guitarist Lauroja, and a most impressive debut recording it is. The CD is a collection of 13 excellent original tracks all composed by Lauroja and band. Like Tolo Marton's recordings, this set from Lauroja is extremely well engineered, something that appears to be true of a lot of Italian blues/rock music. The musicians here are friends of Lauroja's and have joined together on this project, to quote Lauroja, to create a "dream that became a reality". And a very enjoyable reality it has become.
As mentioned before, the entire CD is very solid, with some of the better tracks coming towards the end of the recording, somthing I cannot say about many other recordings. It seems that the longer you listen to this CD, the better it becomes. Lauroja is an outstanding and very tasteful guitarist, who scores extra points with me for exquisite tone (just listen to "Love Struck") with lots of wah-wah and electric type boogies. He is backed by a great rhythm section of Roberto Gualdi on drums and song writer/vocalist Guido Block (and others) on bass. The keyboards on this set come compliments of Damiano Della Torre and are both well played and incredibly well mixed, adding much to the overall sound. Several other of Lauroja's friends join in here and there, with the final product being a well performed and well produced recording. The lyrics at times are a bit on the dark side, other times considerably lighter, but generally interesting. It is, however, the musical talents of this band of friends that makes this recording so very enjoyable.
I liked all of the tracks, with the two consecutive hard drivers "Tell Me It's All Right" and "Love Me Baby" perhaps being my favorites However, it is all good and should spend considerable time in your CD player. You can purchase the CD from our fine friends at CD Baby (www.cdbaby.com) and be sure to visit with Maurizio at his official web site www.mauriziolauoja.com.

FROM ELECTRIC BLUES SITE
A CD arriving a EB's doorstep all the way from Italy, a
recording called "Heaven or Hell" by Maurizio Lauroja. I can't believe I've finally scooped our illustrious TNTom, our resident expert on International guitarists. This guy is one hot player, and the vocalist
is solid as well. This is another collection of very impressive, all original songs. There is literally not one bad song in this CDs, and I highly recommend it. It's been a great week or two for guitar blues
at EB!
