The Preacher, The Politician Or The Pimp raises the ante on Toronzo's modern day blues vision, with 12 distinctive new songs that skillfully blend witty, "ain’t it the truth" anthems with searing topical observations. Through it all Toronzo burns on guitar and brings his lyrics to life with spirited, soul-drenched singing. "Deep, contemporary Chicago blues...razor-sharp guitar and compelling, forceful singing" —Chicago Tribune
