Have I been under a rock !...this dude is good !

Agreed, terrific player. I've got quite a few of his albums. He's had issues with drug dependency in the past so his output has been a bit erratic (done jail time too I think?) 

Modulus_Amps

sure is

I listen to this frequently

He's insane in a good way! This is one of my favourites - but I have many more - especially from jams with Josh Smith!
Not many players will have Mark Lettieri (Snarky Puppy), Oz Noy and Matt Schofield watching on in awe.

Crumbs, I didn't know about his troubles with the law!

Funny thing is that he's not actually a lefty, he just learned to play that way from his brother (who is)!

Plays a regular r/h strung guitar, but  upside down too.

Great for bonkers Albert King-style mahoosive bends!

Nitefly

I remember him - Ipswich striker in the 70's and 80's, played for England a couple of times...

Oh, GALES.  Not GATES?

That's what I love about this forum, it directs me to new music to listen to. On the downside, I think this is going to be costly as I'm going to be buying quite a bit of his music!
