The Blues is woven into each note and chord of Song for the Sinners, the recent release from New Orleans songman, Dean Zucchero. The album is the follow-up to his #1 Billboard Blues chart album, Electric Church for the Spiritually Misguided. Handling the songwriting, production, and bass guitar duties, Dean Zucchero welcomed an A-list cast of vocalists and players in for the recording of Song for the Sinners. Among other luminaries, the album offers musical supplements from Bobby Rush, Mike Zito, Victor Wainwright, John Németh, Jimmy Vivino, Little Freddie King, John Boutté, Glen David Andrews, and Sean Riley. Musically, the album spans the potential of the Blues, strutting on the front porch groove of “Lullaby” as Albert Castiglia joins in for the 1970’s influenced bounce of “Shine” while Jimmy Vivino plugs in for “Biting Through”. 
A Blues riff propels “Fowl Play” across a caffeinated swamp groove as a horn section announces the funky beat of “South Side” while a Southwest breeze blows desert dust over “Suicide for Jesus”, and toe-tapping rhythm takes a sip from “Mama’s Bottle”. Originally from NYC’s East Village, Dean Zucchero honed his skills in Manhattan dive bars before transitioning for Europe for a nine-year residency with The Healers. He returned to the U.S. and set up base in New Orleans. His adopted town wraps around the music of Song for the Sinners, with a Crescent City polish heard in the Rhythm & Blues of “Never Fade Away” and the uptown rhythm rumble of “She’s Saturday Night”. Dean Zucchero speaks/sings “Tone of the City” with a Cajun accordion accenting its musical march, confessing over the slow Blues sway of “Crawfish No More” and hitting the dance floor for the Rock’n’Soul rhythms of “Cold Shot”.
