Just sharing for anyone not familiar. Sean was as fine a bluesman as there ever was or will be. Look around on youtube. Tons of video. I'll try to choose one to add here. Paul Linden, a phenomenal harp player (and piano), worked with him for years. Paul teaches now at U Miss.
I discovered Sean after hearing Jason Ricci talk about him. He was a great guitarist and singer, he seemed to put so much into each note. I still havn't bought anything by him yet although i do check out his video's on youtube from time to time. You can also preview his songs on Amazon aswell.

I am from Atlanta originally, and when I go to visit my family, I normally wind up at Maddys BBQ in Decatur, where there is a Thurdsay Night Blues Jam run by Chicago Joe Jones. He is a prince of a fellow, who does wonders with kids. Sean Costello frequently was at this Jam session, and the Thursday before his death he was there, and so was I. It was a great night, and he was hot. Here is a video from that night, but embedding has been disabled so here is the URL
