Customer Rating:      Summary: A "Must have" for Blues fans. Everyone else for that matter Comment: Seans last was his best, and gets my vote for CD of the year. Been in constant play at home and in my car for months. Noone I know who has heard this gave it anything less than 5 stars. His passing is tragic. The greatest loss for blues fans since Stevie left us. Sean was that good. He was a monster live. 3 of the best shows I've ever seen. There is a huge hole in my annual concert schedule now, noone will be able to fill it. If any family members or friends of his are reading this , my deepest sympathies go out to you. I had the pleasure of talking with him before a show last year. Just a great , unassuming, no pretense, regular guy with an extraordinary gift. He will be missed by everyone who ever heard him.

Customer Rating:      Summary: The best for last Comment: Just two months after Sean Costello roared back into top form with WE CAN GET TOGETHER comes the shocking and deeply saddening news of his death on April 15th, 2008 - just one day shy of his 29th birthday. I count myself extremely fortunate to have seen Sean perform at the Wachusett Blues Festival in Princeton, MA in Sept. 2005. His energy plus infectious joy in his playing and singing literally blew away the crowd to the point that the following acts simply couldn't measure up. We chatted afterward - I told him about my older sister's passing that May - and he listened with sympathy as he signed a CD to my younger sister, who loves good music and was our older sister's best friend and nurse through the last stages of ovarian cancer. How unfathomably tragic now that Sean has left so young with much accomplished and yet with much more promise unfulfilled. Anyone interested in his legacy should start with WE CAN GET TOGETHER. It features some of his finest song writing (including the infectious title track) underpinning his blazing guitar work and distinctive, rough-edged soulful vocals. It's an album which should have been a herald for great music yet to come. My sincerest condolences go to Sean's friends and especially his family. He was a tremendous, extremely gifted young man. Long may his music endure.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Sean, you will be missed Comment: I am devastated to find out that Sean Costello has "gone home to God" as he expresses on "Going home". He was and will remain my favorite artist. His guitar licks and vocals made me know what it is like to FEEL "the blues". I adore all of his CD's & have multiple copies of each just in case I were to lose one and be without for more than a day. I also hand them out to family, friends, and the like. People that think they do not like "the blues" listen to Sean and realize he speaks to them too. I know quite a few people who have opened up to the blues because of Sean. He will be missed by so many people.
