Mike Zito - Resurrection [WEB] (2021)

Blues Music Award-winning guitar master Mike Zito gives us another tour of his talents on his brand new record Resurrection. Set to drop July 16th, 2021 via Gulf Coast Records/Hillside Global, the album was produced by Grammy winner David Z (Prince, Etta James, Billy Idol, BoDeans, Buddy Guy, John Mayall) and contains eight new original songs as well as covers of tunes by J.J. Cale, Willie Dixon, and Eric Clapton. The set is a rebirth of sorts for Zito following the stress of the pandemic and he has used it as an opportunity to remake himself as a musician and an artist. It’s a deep, personal set of music that requires multiple listens to get inside and it rocks from your very first spin. Zito, of course, handles the lead vocal and electric guitar spots here and is backed by a crew of familiars that includes Matthew Johnson (drums), Doug Byrkit (bass), Lewis Stephens (piano, organ), Zach Zito (acoustic guitar), Lisa Andersen (backing vocals), Eric Demmer (saxophone), and Fernando Castillo (trumpet).
