Rod Piazza & The Mighty Flyers: For The Chosen Who (CD & DVD)

With the release of "For The Chosen Who" Piazza and his Mighty Flyers get back to the roots of what drew them into the blues in the first place while at the same time investigating the funkier side of things by bringing in a lineup of very special guests including guitarist Phil Guy (Buddy Guy's brother) and a rhythm section made up of veterans Finis Tasby on bass and James Gadson on drums. With strong originals and well-chosen covers this is Piazza's most rootsy, adventurous album ever.
