Heck YES!!! Studebaker John is one of my favorites--he's got killer
way fat tone--maybe too "electric" for some folks tastes but not
mine--and I very much like his playing. He's also a _terrific_
songwriter and a neat singer (plus a good slide player)

One tune, "Tell Me Why" is turning into a favourite with both the band
and our audiences, but Boogie Walk and a bunch of others are very cool.

The only thing wrong in my book is I don't live close enough to see
him live, but I highly recommend his stuff. I think he's one of those
guys who just isn't well-known enough to make the $$$ he
deserves...I've always been highly impressed.

I'd recommend "Too Tough" and "Outside Lookin'In" for starters.
