The single with Sharon jones is great IMHO, the rest not so much.

NPR did a cool feature about him and the album. Recommended!

Watch him play the song all alone in the NPR Music offices -- and with such joy, you'd swear he just discovered it.

Set List:
"Green Onions"
"Born Under A Bad Sign"
"Down In Memphis"

that video was great. when he kicked into green onions i got chills. the way he keeps the bass line going while he jams away is nasty

I am happy he has at least upped his release rate...... will probably cop the album.
