My Song, "She's Trouble" reviewed: I thought I'd kick-start the month with a review of 'She's Trouble'....

Now, I am a HUGE blues fan (And I mean blues - not the kind of Gary Moore rock that has neither soul nor groove!) - I even run British blues band, so reviewing good blues is always a pleasure!

And this is good blues.

I note from your page that you made your own 'Nobro' - (Great name BTW)! - and your acoustic sound is awesome - I have a 57 National Duolian, which is much more brittle sounding than yours - good for soloing but not really for self-accompaniment!

Sound-wise I'd say you're on a par with John Hammond (He maybe plays a bit better, but he's never done anything else so I should bloody well hope so!)

My song Wall Street Bail Out Blues and the Wall Street Journal: Who'd a thunk that a street singer like me could have ended up in an article that made the cover of the Wall Street Journal? I was blown away! They even included a photo of me in the story. Wall Street Journal writer Robert Tomsho saw a YouTube video of me playing my new song Wall Street Bail Out Blues on the street at Seattle's Pike Place Market. Then he called to interview me by phone and on February 6th 2009 two million people saw my picture in the Wall Street Journal. A clip of my song was also included in the online version of Rob's story, "No Dough In The Do Re Mi." That story is now archived at the WSJ online.
