    I beg to differ, the new album is excellent. That Robert Johnson cover is one of the best tracks of the year so far.

    I agree completely. Album's a big grower.


    Saw the big guy last night and he is a very funny man.

    Loved the gig last night, but thought in places the solo's just went on a little too long. But for a man of his age he really killed.

    Are we the same person? I was going to post the very same thing.

    Great gig, only quibble being the odd solo that went on too long and I would have loved to hear Me and the Devil.
