Can a 12 yr old white boy get the blues?
« on: March 13, 2007, 12:58:20 PM »

Amazing for a 12 year old to 'own' this song.  And a Cannuck at that?    :-P

The guitar playing is ok for his age, but his singing is very mature.  You can tell he's been immersed in this stuff...   you don't get those little inflecitons and mannerisms from tab or just by mimicing records.  You need to become a bluesman yourself, not just a copycat.


EDIT: NEWSFLASH!

Here he is again, but on piano, doing--of all things---that ol' chestnut of murder ballads, Frankie and Johnny.

Like I said, amazing vox.
