@keithremedy Жыл бұрын
He’s the only guy I’ve heard that’s currently performing that sounds so much like BB besides Mayer. They’re both modern versions of the Kings. Mayer has got the SRV Clapton thing and Fletcher has got the Hendrix/BB King thing

I found Kurt because I followed his brother CT Fletcher powerhouse of a weightlifting champion from way back and it just so happened Kurt was on one of the KZfaq videos of CT so I figured I check it out because I also enjoy playing the guitar and the blues.

In the first song, I'm pretty sure he was going directly to the amp (maybe a compressor) and it was crisp. Kirk is great for today. Hes got that old sound but hes incorporated and expanded on the style he expresses. And what a great touch -- understands the power of dynamics and building a solo. Solid stuff!
