R.X. Bertoldi: Press

"Like the coffee on the album cover and the album title suggest, this is a strong album that doesn't leave a bitter aftertaste. Bertoldi plays Americana and roots rock with a firm notion that catchy hooks are allowed to cover over and play for as long as they'd like. His songs have a rustic attitude but a modern approach. The vocals are sugary but have a distinct flavor that sets them apart from so many other artists. While you may find yourself at home listening to this on the wrap-around porch in some Southern home, you'd also find comfort with this blaring through your car stereo as you go on a day-long road trip."

Great Folk/Blues CD

R.X. Bertoldi serves up some great modern Folk/Blues music on his latest CD, “Frame Work Revisions.” Bertoldi is a one man show as he plays acoustic guitar and harmonica and brings it all together with his vocals. Although this album was recorded live at an intimate bar setting, you can hear a nice dynamic balance as the production is crisp and clean with warm and friendly ambiance. The opener, “Guiding Light,” is a testament of Bertoldi’s terrific musicianship as he draws you in with his sincere and heartfelt voice. Generous helpings of Blues on the songs, “Built for Comfort” and “Natural Fools” are dished out as Bertoldi confidently alternates between strong and solid vocals and catchy harmonica solos. If you’re looking for modern acoustic Folk/Blues music with originals and well known covers, then you will really enjoy the compositions on, “Frame Work Revisions.”
