Fantastic Negrito released his debut album back in 1996. In 1999 a near fatal car crash left him with limited movement in his right hand and changed the way he plays the guitar and created his new identity. Three of his albums have won the Grammy for Best Contemporary Blues album.  He's toured with Sturgill Simpson and Chris Cornell, collaborated with Sting and launched his own record label.

Plus, Cerys' weekly round up of blues in all shapes and sizes.
