Salgado is famed not only for his powerhouse live shows and ten previous albums, but also for his passionate and insightful original songs. He has been nominated three times for the Blues Music Award for Song Of The Year, winning in 2018 for Walk A Mile In My Blues from his album The Beautiful Lowdown. In total, he has won nine Blues Music Awards, including the B.B. King Entertainer Of The Year. He has toured the world multiple times, playing clubs, concert halls and festivals.

Salgado has always lived life to the fullest, but he's also faced adversity, overcoming multiple health challenges. Both of these things inform The Longer That I Live. He battled back from liver cancer in 2006 and lung cancer in 2008 and 2012. In March 2017 he underwent quadruple bypass surgery. He’s not only come back stronger each time, he’s become a prolific songwriter, going from writing a few songs per album to writing or co-writing full albums of original songs.

“You can dance to them," Salgado says of his songs, "but the words have to carry the weight.”
