I was in Austin this last week and attended lots of listening sessions (at local bars) trying to find the next great musicians. I found no one associated with SXSW who impressed me, however I did find the finest electric guitarist I have ever heard in my life! His name is Alan Haynes and he is from Texas. He was playing blues but I hesitate to name him a blues guitarist. The guy is a true genius, with a grasp of melody, harmony and chord structure that is astounding. He also sings like an angel. I have not heard someone of that caliber since Michael Hedges. His web site is: http://www.alan-haynes.de Go there and buy his records. Best Regards, Bill |

Really, these guys are totally amazing players. But there is much less demand for great players these days, so they semi-struggle.... http://www.luckysevenrecords.com/CDStore.htm |
