"... emotionally expressive ... is infused with
strains of infectious jump blues, soul blues, raw blues
shouting and echoes of gospel". --Blues Access.
Contains the potential new state song, "Florida's
Song".
His performances interpret blues at its best, from fast-paced
shuffles to foot-stomping rockers to mournful, slow
blues. His playing and singing evoke the healing power
of the blues.
