Nuno Mindelis - Blues On The Outside (1999)

Nuno's own life journey embodies the Blues. He was born in Angola, and started making guitars as a young child. His family was forced to flee the war in Angola, and for safety Nuno was sent to live apart from his family in Canada for several years. Continuing to refine his unique fingerstyle electric Blues technique, Nuno was finally reunited with his family in Brazil.

In 1994 Mindelis has his first recognition by a major American music magazine. Jas Obrecht, editor of Guitar Player Magazine editor at the time, compared Mindelis to Jimmy Page. Further recognition came in their May 1998 issue, as Mindelis was selected as "Best Blues Guitarist" in the 30th Anniversary Guitar Player Magazine Competition. Now Nuno is renowned as one of the world's top Blues artists.

Nuno has shared the stage with B.B. King, Jimmie Vaughan, Robert Cray, Otis Clay, and Junior Wells, among others. Now he continues to play to enthusiastic audiences and critical acclaim worldwide.

"Blues on the Outside" includes great originals, as well as a version of Jimmie Vaughan's "Motorhead Baby" that will blow you away.
