http://www.anthemreview.net/post/133455449523/tony-fazio-another-way-tony-fazio-is-a-legend Tony Fazio is a legend, it goes without sayings. His career is bursting with musical accomplishments, and his time playing with Memphis Gold, Bobby Parker and Charlie Sayles has taken him all over the globe. ‘Another Way’ marks a milestone for Fazio though; it’s his first solo Blues album, and to help him make it an auspicious occasion, he’s enlisted the help of Charlie Sayles and a few other legends. Traversing almost the full spectrum of the historic blues genre, ‘Another Way’ is a modern triumph that pays all the right dues to the past, combining elements of the gospel, R&B, and heavy rock genres to paint a brilliantly vivid picture. While it’s Sayles’ vocals that help bring ‘Another Way’ to life, its Fazio’s guitar that really sets it on fire. Darting between authentic blues rhythms that step through several decades of the genre and contemporary, guitar driven dynamos, ‘Another Way’ is stocked to the brim with gutsy solos and perfectly positioned basslines. Tracks such as ‘Liar’, ‘Early Morning Blues’ and the vibrant ‘Something’ stand out as iconic tracks, but there is very little disparity in quality across the length of the LP. Clean, raw, and entirely authentic, there are few greater accolades you can add to Fazio’s work. His partnership with Sayles in terms of song writing and performing is both brilliantly balanced and wonderfully played out, and while ‘Another Way’ is definitely a triumph for Fazio, it’s a strong achievement for Sayles too.
