    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.
