I just picked this up tonight and am a couple of songs into it. Holy ****, this guy is GREAT!
I have seen and heard only little bits and pieces of this guy playing with others. Allman's, Clapton, Jimmy Herring, etc. I knew he was good, but this DVD with his own band is at a whole different level.
What a touch he has! Killer, pure tones and great lines with an old Gibson SG, a slide, and an amp. Absolutely chilling tones and playing.
Unlike some other young, famous, look-at-me guitar players I could mention, this guy is clearly the centerpiece of the band without needing to be the lead singer or make goofy faces or awkward speeches to the audience. He just stands there, and the music pours out. So many influences in his playing, and just a fabulous touch.
Outstanding band as well. Great players all, and very tight and grooving at all times.
One thing I notice just a couple of songs in is that these guys use extreme dynamics and tempo changes just as freely and often as rhythmic and harmonic devices. Also, even though DT is the centerpiece of the band, it is clearly a BAND effort, and it is pretty obvious to me that everyone is intent on serving the songs.
This is the best 13 bucks I have spent in a while. I am officially a fan. :AOK
