“It’s like a metamorphosis—out of the old and into the now,” says Dave Herrero of his third album, Corazón, releasing officially in October 2012. “We’re combining old-school sensibilities and modern recording technology, and bringing the two worlds together in a much different way than we have in the past.”

Bringing worlds together is something to which Dave is no stranger. He’s teamed up with guitarist and songwriting virtuoso Felix Reyes for years, releasing 2009’s Austin to Chicago to critical acclaim (it was nominated for Illinois Debut Blues Album of the Year). That album delivered a collection of original material and rare covers powerfully crafted to embody both Texas and Chicago blues styles through the perspectives of accomplished musicians from two different eras (Dave is 35; Felix, 55). The album created something current, but with a meticulous 1950s blues sound.

With Corazón, they once again proudly hold to their blues roots, but this time face boldly forward, breaking through to a brave new sound. The album’s liner notes begin with a quote from Corinthians about the unfaltering, irrepressible nature of love, which sets the tone for the diverse collection of songs. “They’re not love songs as much as they’re stories of love, whether they’re tragic, regretful, soulful or determined.”
