According to his website, Corey Congilio’s “experience as a touring guitarist, session musician, educator and presenter has proven to be invaluable in connecting with audiences around the world”—and that lived-in skill set is all over these tracks. His seasoned technique is front and center across songs like “I Wouldn’t Treat A Dog (The Way You Treated Me),” which saunters with bluesy Mayer-esque soul and lands somewhere between heartbreak and swagger. “Two Headed Woman” punches harder, flexing guitar chops and a rock vocal that oozes stank-face energy. All in all, it’s a tight showcase of chops, tone, and taste.
