He's a blues player. The only Canadian to win the blues challenge in Memphis Tennessee. Those old timers should be honored he's doing their cover. This is coming from someone who grew up with an old man who made us appreciate the classics. ACDC, Zeppelin, The Stones, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Dylan, the Band, the list is endless. You probably grew up in the music age. Kids of the late 80s and further grew up in the video then internet age. You had the best music we had the best videos. Music is so manufactured now it's the same 3 choruses, same 3 mins length, and same songs repeated over and over again. Take away the electronics and give em a mic and see how well their voice sounds. Matt Andwrsen is pure talent

My favorite example of this is the classical pianist Daniil Trifonov. Before he starts a piece his body relaxes and it looks like he becomes possessed. There is a recording where he plays all Op. 25 Etüden of Chopin in one sitting where you can see what I mean. And nobody plays those pieces better in my opinion. It sounds like his entire soul is captured in his playing.

The only way I could describe his performance was that he CONSUMED the guitar. Strings were breaking and he still kept ripping the notes from it. PLEASE go see him if you get a chance.

Yes agree true beauty really does come from the soul appealing to us on an emotional level, bringing tears in its presence; the physical pleasures seeming mute and shallow in comparison. Makes me think singing and music is a great gift to mankind to be experienced and felt. I love his voice, the range the emotion; he takes us on a different journey in each song.
