Take a bit of Robin Trower with a pinch of SRV and season with a sprinkle of Cream.

I got this CD a few weeks ago and the more I hear it the more I am blown away....YMMV ;)

I don't think this video does them justice.

I'd like to hear him with better backup... he deserves it. Maybe Tal Wilkenfeld on bass???

Yeah, a co-worker gave me a copy of that a month or two ago
& I've had in "rotation" in the car changer . . .

It's good, but y'gotta' be "in the mood" for it.

(personally, I think Al, Matt & I did a better "Cut My Hair" . . . but I'm just biased . . .;-)

Actually, to me it sounds like he was listened to Jack White.

I saw this group at a free concert in Burlington on the lake front. Needless to say I was impressed, for a few moments I had a flashback. When they played Outside Woman Blues I said to myself "Pauly this is going to be alright". Up here in Vermont concerts like this can be a hit or a miss this one was a hit.

I don't hear any Trower or Cream, and I believe that the single-coil bridge pickup on all strats should be disabled. They sound like crap.

That just happened to be the video clip.
I was referring to the CD when I made those comments.

A lot of the vocals remind me of Trower and "Outside Woman Blues" is most definitely Cream.

*cough* I've been rhythm guitarist for that Davey Knowles bloke, you know.*cough*

Considering he's from a tiny Island, it's great he's out there and playing. Let's give the guy's voice a chance - he's only about 6 after all!

Would love him to get back here for a while, as we miss 'em, but great to randomly hear of them.

Get the album - it's well worth a listen. I may have said it before, but I'll say it again... That album is what I sound like in my head. What Davey sounds like in is head must be mind blowing.

Interesting comment as the video shows he's playing the 62RI Sherwood Green Metallic Strat on the NECK pup...
I actually thought they were pretty good: nice to see the younger generation finally playing MUSIC and not that ditty bop/rap/hood junk...JMO...YMMV

Actually, it kinda sounds like he was influenced by Clifford. This is a tune that he could do justice to (with Temp on lap steel and Beal on lead?)....

Not to be too much of a snot, but I was reading all the comments on YouTube saying how his tone was crap and such.. Funny that their idea of wonderful tone didn't get them a gig on Kimmel..

Based on the video alone : He's good but let's not get carried away, he is a looooooong way short of the GOD that is SRV!

Sweet Stevie, I miss him so :(

I think he is only 19 or 20. Not sure where Stevie was at that time.
