anybody out there fans of this cat? dude has got so much hype its fukkin ridiculous. after listening to some of his shyt awhile ago i thought he showed promise but was being overrated a little. (i figured the hendrix comparisons were only because he was black)

but then i saw him live last week! :ooh:

dude was an AMAZING performer. what a great fukkin guitarist! completely owned the stage. now im on the bandwagon and dont see myself jumping off anytime soon. like most blues acts his music translates better in a live setting then on record but i hope dude at least blows up to like a black keys level.

what do yall think of him?

I remember reading about dude in Rolling Stone magazine. He was being touted as the 'next big thing' for the blues. Dude is talented.

Had to up this because I stumbled upon him from Bun B's Instagram account of all things.

Got ahead of his albums and they are :whew: So dope that people are making music like this currently.

Listening to this right now

I keep hearing about him, too. I'm trying to go to this concert festival at Merriweather, where he's supposed to be performing. I have to preview his album again before I give an opinion of his music. I liked one of his songs, I know that much.

Figured I'd post this here instead of starting a new thread.

Can anybody recommend me similar artist to this cat? I love this sound. The hard drums, soulful singing and the blues guitar licks. Anyone else like it I should check out?
