yes it sounds like stevie, as does most of their stuff, just like Kenny wayne.. doesnt mean they arent badass in their own right....Chris duarte puts a better twist on the SRV sound if you ask me.
I have a feeling that Stevie Ray would be pleased that Mato has some of the same vibe that Stevie did...and I do not think SRV would look at it as being "a total rip off". Stevie enjoyed the HELL out of listening, watching and learning from other guitarists and musicians. He would have totally embraced this young guitar slinger and sung his praises for his talent and soul.
i used to be a security guard at Northern Lights casino in Walker Minnesota, Mato and his band played there, I was thrilled to hell when my supervisor posted me with him, got to stand around by him and during meet and greet and afterwards, what even thrilled me more was when his tour manager gave me his new cd. ROCK ON MATO.
Mato is my favorite living guitarist! I was sad to hear that Indigenous split but at least they are all still making music, especailly Mato. Saw Indigenous live about 7 years ago, one of the best performances I have ever seen! Live long and Play Strong Mato Nanji
Jimi Hendrix, Billy F. Gibbons, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Clapton, Johnny Winter, David Gilmour, Jimi Page, Tinsley Ellis, and now Mato. For blues dont fuck with these guys.
siyo tsunalii Mato ale Indigenous, you hav so incredibly revived and re-incarnated the sounds, vibes, rifs and heart of SRV and Hendrix, but you have gone 5 steps further, bringing it back to the people once more. wado anadanvtli (thanks brothers).
hmmm....you should listen to Mato before judging that way. The guy below is right, more hendrx than anything, but really has a great style all his own. Check out some older indigenous songs
More Hendrix influence than SRV...just listen to his cover of Red House....I have never heard them do an SRV song but I think it would be great to hear that
... actually i have to agree with napco205 im only 17 and ive already heard enough srv sound alikes to last a lifetime... ofcourse i love SRVs music and he has been a HEFTY influence on me and the soul i give out when i play... but its better to improve the style that HE himself improved rather than to stay at the same level like yngwie malmsteen did for ritchie blackmore of deep purple.. he implied classical music in his playing and malmsteen made it better, faster just like srv did 4 the blues
If you looked into them a little you would see they are much more than a Stevie copy. GREAT band, very unique sound on a lot og tunes. I have seen them live twice and was very blown away. And I do not get impressed that easily.
I heard the last 30 seconds of this song on Sirius Blues CH 74 and had to find out who these guys were. I am in shock and awe that they have been around for over ten years and are not that well known. Now I'm mad at Sirius for not playing more of their songs.

Mary Had a Little Lamb!....so many people out there trying to be the next SRV,...that has always been my big gripe about bluesrock people. Mato falls in the same category as Kenny Wayne.
Mato is SRV reincarnated. LOL. Seriously, he's as bad ass as they get and a genuinely super nice guy. Have met him several times & had drinks with him after the shows. He's what is right about music. Thanks for posting this.
I saw him live last year opening for Los Lonely Boys and I agree with the earlier comments about his playing. He's amazing, but he was turned up SOOO loud that I couldn't fully appreciate his talents. He's still fantastic though!
I don't like how some people say this sounds just like SRV. Granted it's similar but if Stevie were to do a cover of this song in heaven it would sound a little different. I have seen him do this song live a couple of years ago and it sounded awesome and put the album version to shame (if that's possible). I mean you just "felt" it! Also I learned how to play this one and some others on this album a while back, haha!
I have a video of Indigenous. I'm not sure if this VHS is now available at all on dvd :) I mostly watch any videos on youtube until I have a chance to see indigenous live.
I saw him live in Santa Fe, in '06. I was a little disappointed because he was cranked so loud it was hard to hear how good he really is - and that was at in outdoor venue. I do agree that his version of Red House is incredible.
for me, its not like SRV - i mean i know u might think it sounds like scuttle buttin' - but this is Mato playing :) and he's got that tone that i love. so happy SRV has inspired him. I love this instrumental :)
Their original producer was Doyle Bramhall who played with and wrote many of Stevie Ray Vaughan's songs. RIP Doyle Bramhall.
