Me & The Originator is Al Basile fifteenth release on Sweetspot. It's a concept album which tells a story through a hybrid of narration and songs about an imaginary musician who has a career which harbors a dark secret. This CD asks the questions "who makes the song?" and "Who can call a song their own?" - another way of thinking about the history of blues as it has passed down to us latter day interpreters. Produced by Duke Robillard, with the same lineup as on Al's BMA nominated best contemporary blues album Mid-Century Modern in 2016. 200 station national radio promotion by Todd Glazer Promotions. 4 month publicity campaign by Mark Pucci Media.
