Gopher, I am actually starting to feel frightened. This is twice now I completely agree with you.
I heard sooo many great things about that band, that I just had to check 'em out. Then my wife bought the CD, so I got to hear it. Killer band, great grooves, awesome singing (harmonies and melodies), and some of the songs on the album are pretty well written too. Most of the lyrics are junk, but these guys are young, and I feel that they will probably grow into somthing far better than they are now.
The guitar playing though, hideous. Henry has all the makings of a great player. I hope he can grow up a little and realize his potential. He understands the instrument very well, and if he would get off his silly, and downright pedestrian SRV impressionist kick, he could probably grow to be a very influential player in his own right. If he doesn't, well, flash in the pan doesn't begin to describe these guys careers. In no time flat they'll be down at IHOP having coffee with Hootie and the Blowfish and wondering what the hell happened.
