Story & Background
Ligabue's self-titled debut in 1990, released by WEA, would never have been possible without the intuition and generous support of Pierangelo Bertoli. Bertoli, an already established figure in Italian singer-songwriter music, listened to the demos of a then unknown singer-songwriter from Correggio and was immediately struck by their expressive power. He decided to include two tracks by the young Emilian rocker, "Sogni di Rock'n'Roll" and "Figlio d'un cane", on his 1989 album "Sedia Elettrica". This move, besides giving Ligabue his very first visibility, was the decisive driving force in attracting the attention of the major record label WEA. It was precisely thanks to this authoritative "benedizione" and Bertoli's courage to bet on the raw talent and sharp pen of a still unknown artist, that Ligabue obtained his first record deal, opening the doors to that debut album which would mark the beginning of a legendary career, profoundly shaping Italian singer-songwriter rock for decades to come.
