Was over at LGF this morning and discovered a great blues talent.

Anyone heard of him? Here's a listen to one of his songs (for a limited time)

He did some good stuff. He didnt limit himself to solo gigs either, he played as a "guest" for just about anyone who asked. Very talented.

I really like the song posted on LGF, so much that I saved it. I might just order his CD, it all sounds pretty good.

He opened for Jimmie Vaughan a few years ago when I saw him. One man show, just he and his dobro. Amazing musician. Too bad he's gone now.
