+Jared G of course, I agree

+Charles Crumb He's just an extremely animated performer and a very unique individual.

Thank´s man

Maurice Sendak

+dak hodge You know not of what you speak.

+dak hodge you really think he's trying to make black music? ok, he's likely influenced by black blues guitarrists, but his style is much more in line with a very white branch of american folk and country music. although saying even that would be to dimish him, he's extremely unique and personal, which was pointed out by every reviewer I've come across. regardless, he's trying to be anything but black music. I have NO idea where you got that from. you also seem to care more about clean notes than actual good songwriting and beautiful heartfelt singing, both of which will has in spades.

+dak hodge / American music is influenced by 'black' music, and music of the British isles, etc. He is at very least a purely American songwriter. Music is like food, some people like cheeseburgers and some people don't, you can't tell someone their taste buds are wrong

+delawaredestroyer OKAY? I KNOW WHO YOU ARE SYDNEY 

+dak hodge racist

+dak hodge Well, "weird" is irrelevant, I'm sure you'd agree. He's definitely a white guy, although, apparently human ancestry can be traced back to one continent, so I don't know how much skin tones that have fluctuated according to their proximity to the sun are wholly definitive of an individual. But you mean (I'm guessing), those who've lived the Black American experience. I've never heard him characterized as wanting to be Black, but I could see "soulful." You have an ear for guitar and vocals? I do want to say, that very, very often when a person critiquing an artist, starts out with, "he wants to be the next..." or, "she's trying to be just like...," they're making a snap judgement, without adequate info. Btw, I thought Kurt Cobain could sing, and there are some people who know a lot more about music than I do, that'd agree. 

im sorry my friend, but I don't feel it, I see a weird white guy trying to make black soulful music but bad guitar playing and bad sing should be left to the grunge bands

You've got more listening to do my friend. 

+Eric F  Yep, always:)))))))))

+Simon Y the dude abides

+Eric FYou are El Duderino

In a world awash with people who have "good" skills but aren't heartfelt, heartfelt starts to look pretty damn good.

I'm just saying, i'm pretty sure there wasn't a single clean note plucked through the song, its like J.J. Calle, his recordings suck!!!!! everyone admits it, eric Clapton, music mags, damn fine song writer, for other people though.....

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
