Ron Cartel was born and raised by Italian immigrant parents in the musical melting pot that is Harlem, New York City. Looking down the list of bands and musicians that Ron has worked with during these years is like a who’s who of the blues, soul and jazz scenes; artists like Bernard Purdie (James Brown, B.B. King), Steve Gadd (Eric Clapton), Matt Guitar Murphy (Blues Brothers Movie), Dr John, The Tower of Power Horns, The Blues Brothers Band, John Tropea, Sonny Sharrock (Miles Davis, Herbie Mann)… the list goes on. This new album, consisting mostly of original songs, with a few choice covers thrown in the mix, Ron delivers the Blues with a generous blend of Mojo roots, dark passion & deep Soul. If you like Johnny Adams, or say Boz Scaggs, you’ll love Ron Cartel. Also feature bonus tracks, recorded live in New York.
