Rocco Deluca and the Burden
Last Saturday night I found myself uncharacteristically staying home. I had a long day at work and late night that Friday. I ended up watching a documentary that followed Kiefer Sutherland as he went on tour with a guitar player and his band. That guitar player ended up being Rocco and his band, The Burden. I was pleasantly surprised. Rocco can straight play the guitar. It is as simple as that. He seems to be a throwback to the golden years of blues and actual rock and roll. I have an affinity for that old school slide sound. It just seems right to me. I can listen to slide-guitar all day. That is why I like the Allman Brothers so much, and that is one of the reasons I have grown to love Rocco. The documentary aside, I don’t know if I would ever have gotten a chance to discover this band. Their album, “I Trust You To Kill Me,” is out now. You can listen to a few tracks on their Myspace site. I especially like, “Colorful” and “Soul”. Check him out, and if you get a chance, the documentary isn’t that bad either.
