Man, not hating on the dude, but we've already had Kenny Wayne Shepard, John Mayer, Bonamassa and countless boring others.. White boy blues is dead and boring. Everyone thinks blues is what was played in Chicago from 55 onward, it's not. That era was the end of blues, it died.
fwiw - I rather listen to this kid than all of the above listed. He almost has it. He plays fingerstyle, real blues players don't use picks and he plays old style delta a bit, not well, but that's a great start. at least it's not stuck in Chicago. Nothing bores me more than Bonamassa and his style of overplayed white boy chicago not blues.
Chicago blues is a severely watered down version of Delta meant for white audiences to listen to. They've eliminated a majority of blues notes. Boring..
Delta, Texas, Piedmont, Stomp, are all superior forms of blues, but aren't played much anymore instead being replaced by Chicago style...especially by white players. I much prefer Taj Mahal, Gary Clark Jr, etc etc ... they get it.
This kid has hope ... he has a little funk to his playing but plays a bit mechanically, maybe because he's being interviewed and not actually performing, but man sounds like he needs better feel. At least he doesn't overplay like Bonamassa and Mayer..
