DESCRIPTION:
“This is the biggest album I’ve
ever done…I’ve never done
anything quite like this before.”
Pretty strong words coming from someone
who has been in the recording business
for almost forty years and released upwards
of twenty albums. Those words come from
blues harmonica icon Rod Piazza and he’s
talking about the CD you’re holding,
“For The Chosen Who.”
