Sorry - just using using your thread for a great band (ZZ Top) for a shameless plug of my latest & greatest guitar hero :), who I hadn't even heard of until a few months ago.
Joe is the real deal. Saw him twice this year. Never ceases to amaze. Love me some Rev Willie G also. Time to Jam.

Meh... He just does not have the voice for blues-rock. Dude can wear-out a guitar (and I respect that!), but his voice seems more suited to Christopher Cross covers.
