Tom Principato's 'Anniversary DVD-Celebrating 40 years of Roots Guitar Playing'is culled from various sources that include foreign and domestic TV appearances, as well as amateur video shot between 1976 and 1998. Players past and present include Danny Gatton, Albert Lee, Duke Robillard, Pete Kennedy, Dave Hildalgo, and the late Little Jimmy King. Also of note is an extremely rare clip of Tom's Band Powerhouse from 1976 at a small club in Connecticut.

It's a who's who of axe slingers and a whole lot of very fine guitar picking.Kicking off with a 1994 clip from Tornado Alley, Tom demonstrates just how he has reached the status as one of the premier guitar players with a smoking version of Duke Robillards "Give Me All The Love You've Got". He plays with technical prowess and emotional attachment that most guitarists only dream about. Tom rips through covers of Jerry Lee Lewis's "I'm On Fire" (trading some hot licks with guitar legend Albert Lee), Albert Collins, Joe Turner and Albert King, as well as his own arsenal of well-written tunes. 'Anniversary DVD' celebrates a career that not only has brought some great music to this area, but also shows how timeless great playing really is. Principato's consistently solid playing is a joy to watch as is his talented sidemen. The DVD is divided into two parts, the videos, which consist of professionally shot footage and "Video Cam Corner" (great moments of music caught on amateur video) and runs about 75 min. The picture and sound varies from clip to clip, and considering the age of some of the sources, are very well preserved. For anyone who's been following Tom's career,then the 'Anniversary DVD' is a must-have. For everybody else, if you like good blues, jazz, and roost music played with finesse and conviction by some of the best playerds around, then by all means get a copy of Tom Principato's 'Anniversary DVD'
