Zito's national debut, Today, has the pedigree of a winner. The album was produced by Grammy Award winners Tony Braunagel and David Z., who had previously worked with artists like Taj Mahal, B.B. King, Bonnie Raitt and Prince.

The influence of tried-and-true professionals is apparent in the album's slick, multilayered sound adorning songs dealing with the bluesy themes of romantic foibles and dilemmas.
