I can't believe he doesn't have his own thread. I finally got around to getting I, Flathead. One of the best albums of 2008 for sure. :thumbsup:

Have you heard Mavis Staples' We'll Never Turn Back? Ry produced, played on it and wrote some of the songs.

I loved the work he did on Crossroads all those years ago.

Me, too.

Have you heard Boomer's Story? You'll never guess what thoughts his version of DARK END OF THE STREET puts in my mind.

Nope, haven't heard it, but you have certainly piqued my interest (is it hot in here? Someone open a window...)

Indeed I have. I love Mavis Staples' voice, so it's hard passing up most of her work.

The first track and the song Johnny Cash from the new album get big thumbs up.

Drive Like I Never Been Hurt is really hitting me hard right now.

Someone said that on his FB page.

Every woman falls in love with him. Every man wants to be him.

I've never seen him live, but he played in San Francisco not too long ago, and he's one of a kind. I hope those people know how lucky they were to see him. Here's a live review from a long time ago.

In total, the show presented one of those lamentably rare pairings of supreme technique with simple, spontaneous feel. The craftmanship was never allowed to shine through in isolation from that sense of celebration. The love of music was plainly in evidence in everything the musicians played for us. And the feeling was mutual.

I wouldn't mind seeing him live someday.
