“... an eclectic adventurist ..."
- People
"... a one-man band who turns a guitar into an orchestra and his voice into a chorus."
- The New York Times
Singer, songwriter and guitarist Raul Midón has earned renown as one of music’s most distinctive and searching voices over the course of eight albums since 1999. On Bad Ass and Blind, the New Mexico native, blind since birth, attests to enduring ambitions. There are songs sure to please fans of his earlier work, beginning with the tour de force title track which finds Midón celebrating blindness with a ripping guitar solo and a fierce spoken word rhyme. These musical gems come with a story that Midón himself explains:
"Bad Ass and Blind is a kind of personal coming out party for me. Believe it or not I am a shy person especially when it comes to my blindness. This album, in general and this song in particular, represents a sea change for me when it comes to communicating with the public about my disability. I am what I am. I travel the world, write, produce, sing, play and do it all without the benefit of sight. I’m a bad ass."
- Raul Midón
