Zucchero – Blue's

Miserere is the sixth studio album by Italian blues rock singer-songwriter Zucchero Fornaciari released in 1992 by Polydor Records. The album Miserere (Have Mercy) is much darker album than Fornaciari's previous works, made clear from the album's and same-titled song, as well theme. It reflects his intimate personal life from the time when lived in solitude and depression after the divorce. According to Zucchero, it's the result of three years in disperation, torn between Emilia where lived his parents, and Versilia where lived his wife and daughters, living in a small house near the sea in Marina di Pietrasanta, with a dog and one bottle. Later while was near the countryside of Pontremoli, he saw a green valley with a ruin and river, went down near them, and for the first time in a period felt at home. There he built his current home.

Among the greatest interpreters of the Italian blues, Zucchero is one of the leading Italian artists worldwide. His music has spread across national borders thanks to numerous collaborations with international artists; Bryan Adams, Bono, Jeff Beck, Ray Charles, Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker, Miles Davis, Peter Gabriel, John Lee Hooker, B.B. King, Mark Knopfler, Iggy Pop and Sting. This is the 30th Anniversary edition of Oro Incenso & Birra. The original version was released in 1989, and represents a true milestone of Italian music history. Produced by Corrado Rustici, the album was recorded at Peter Gabriel's English Real World Studios, Memphis Ardent, New York Power Station and Umbi Studios in Italy.

Black Cat is the thirteenth studio album by the Italian blues rock singer-songwriter Zucchero Fornaciari, released on 29 April 2016. It's his first full-length studio album in six years, after Chocabeck in 2010, given that La Sesión Cubana (2012) was a mix of unreleased, previously released and cover songs. The album is marked by a music which goes back to soul & blues roots and sound of the famous Oro Incenso & Birra (1989). According to Zucchero, the album does not have the meaning of Western prejudice of Black cat, yet Afro-American for "figure of speech, a greeting, a symbol of auspice". As well there's a component of anarchism toward the "market rules". It is his "darkest album and rough ever in terms of sonority".
