Your album is like discovering a brand new Hendrix album!
author: Eric Normand
Hey Steve,
I received your CD yesterday. Great stuff! It kind of sounds like a modern day blues-rock band with Jimi on guitar. Great rythym section work, writing, and arranging as well as your emotional, eloquent guitar playing and vocals! I own all of the original Hendrix recordings on vynyl as well as the remastered CD stuff and have played them a million times. I haven't discovered anything "new" that I haven't already heard by Jimi in a long time. Your album is like discovering a brand new Hendrix album, very inspirational! Thanks again,
Eric

From the opening "...Comes Around" you hear "Slowhand's" feel, then you jump right into "Playing from the Heart" a la Robin Trower. From there you hear the Hendrix inspired "Joni" and "Jimi's Tune" followed up by some bluesy Buddy Guy/Robert Johnson powered licks. If you like the sounds of these people, this disk is a must have for your collection. Grasshopper will make you remember when music was fun, and you'll be anxiously awaiting the next installment of his awesome axe playing.
