The kid on the disc is an exceptional writer/player. He went electric with a guitar, B-3, drums power blues trio. They made a splash in the eastern US and Europe. Played with RL Burnside, Jimbo Mathus, others off of Blind Pig Records. Even had the proverbial record deal with them.
Problem was he weighed about 400 pounds. A reverse Johnny Winters. The road wore him out; he had a heart attack at about 23.
Last time I heard he had married a groupie and settled down here in the area with his own doublewide. He still shows up at some of the local clubs occasionally.
