{"product_id":"nico-wayne-toussaint_burning-ligth-vinyl_2022_lad","title":"BURNING LIGTH (vinyl)","description":"Nico, alone in the studio, in a guitar-harmonica-voice format, reinterprets 7 of his old compositions and adds 6 new original tracks to his repertoire. A 13-track album, which sounds like an ode to roots blues, a tribute to Lightnin' Hopkins, John Lee Hooker, and Louisiana Red. (An intimate and devilishly bluesy Nico to the depths of his soul, a complete artist to rediscover in a new light, on a haunting album... Marc Loison, Soulbag, Radio 666) Nico's shows are renowned for their energy and the infectious joy they spread. Trained in American blues clubs, which he has frequented since the age of 19, he has developed a unique stage approach where energy, charisma, harmonica, and feeling are carried by a cohesive and effective band. A professional since 1998, he has recorded 14 albums under his own name, 12 of which were released on the Dixiefrog label. His tours have brought him new fans in France, Belgium, Holland, the United States, Canada, Spain, Italy, Germany, Macedonia, Ecuador, Nigeria, Syria, Tunisia, and Morocco. Nico is keen to bring his blues wherever he is asked. He is therefore equally capable of performing as a duo for an intimate concert, or electrifying his music as a quartet or quintet in the spirit of the Chicago Blues masters. He can also offer a Big Band version of his music, where the repertoire is blues tinged with funk and soul from James Cotton, to whom he paid tribute in an album released on Dixiefrog in 2017. Lately, Nico has also been performing solo with guitar, harmonica, and vocals, bringing a street music repertoire to the stage, based on his original tracks influenced by roots blues and gospel. He thus produced solo and released in June 2022 the album Burning Light, distributed by L'Autre Distribution. Working with American musicians has long been a blues school for Nico and his band. They have hosted guests such as Cash Mc Call, David Maxwell, Monster Mike Welch, and Killer Ray Allison on tours. Nico has recorded or worked with Rod Piazza, Guy Davis, and Andrew Strong. During his stays in the US, he has shared the stage with James Cotton, Billy Branch, RJ Mischo, Luther Allison, Eddie C. Campbell, Vance Kelly, Jimmy Burns, Jimmy Johnson, and many other names from the Chicago scene.","brand":"Nico Wayne Toussaint","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55310254768472,"sku":null,"price":20221209.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/3521381576498_bf114b5d-7c5f-4756-803b-2a540b7cba17.jpg?v=1760318382","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/nico-wayne-toussaint_burning-ligth-vinyl_2022_lad","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
