Yup. Think he was singing a selection of them on a documentary the other night - with Tom Jones supporting...

And from what I've seen a little more down to earth than his Jeeves counterpart...

Whilst I appreciate his obvious talent, I found his American accent a little contrived and that spoilt it for me - a sort of 'white men can't sing the blues' thing I suppose.

What about Clapton or Mr Mojo Risin'?

This is news to me so I'm going off to have a listen

Very meh, to be honest. I prefer a much harder kind of blues, too lounge music for me.

It's a bit 'iffy'

Has no real quality. If it wasn't him, it would not get a second look. Bit like Steve Martin's banjo album.

He's clearly a talented guy, but I'm getting a bit 'Hugh-Lauried-Out'.
