from zippy zinc to ace acoustic champ, this guy has been down since day one. and with a new record sounding as great as ever, it's past time he gets a proper appreciation here.

what say you fine folks? new primitive hero or just another bert jansch wannabe?

here's a badass television-style duel guitar workout from his old band-

Real good w Freakwater too, and he got a blurb from Richard Thompson, the only RT blurb I've ever seen!

Just interviewed him and Salsburg for an upcoming Aquarium Drunkard feature. Their new record is fab, as is the recent Me Neither. Great musician / guy.
