Not since the first moment I listened to Stevie Ray Vaughn so many years ago has a new guitarist made me feel the way this kid does. Before I went to the show I ordered all his cds and downloaded the new “Live from Bonnaroo” off Itunes. In fact the live download is actually my favorite. I cannot quit listening to it.
OK I will settle in a bit and say first off that Davy is not SRV. But he is very very good and very young. He has so much potential in his playing I really cannot wait to hear him in ten years. He already sounds like he has been playing 30 years…
