Troy is an excellent guitar player (like Bob said especially his rhythm).  
Check out his playing behind Kim Wilson on Kim's new solo disc.  Troy also 
has a disc of his own, but I have no idea where to pick it up or if he plays 
harp on it.  I've heard a few cuts of it on local radio out here in SoCal, 
and it sounds damn good.
