I played an opening set for Michael Burks in San Diego about 8 or 9 years ago.Great player,kick ass band and a really cool guy.He even told me that he dug my guitar [USA Washburn CT-3].
These guys came to my school about 3 weeks ago to give us a special performance, and I got to help them set up and get comfortable in the green room...they are all great guys, and, being a keyboardist, I loved talking to their organist...
just saw this guy live at the Sedalia Blues Fest, he's even more awesome live!!! no kidding, he's my new favorite blues artist/guitarist! on stage he's just so intense and really just tears it up, and his band mates are great as well, just a great band.
Thanks for having posted a link to this on a now gone Wilson Pickett version. Otherwise, I would never have been introduced to Michael Burks. The whole album is kick-ass. What talent! This is the best part of YouTube: finding somebody phenomenal from a comment or video response. Thanks, again!

I have his iron man album,can anyone tell me what type of overdrive pedal he uses???.cant get enough of his tone?.
MrCaribbean 2 years ago
alot of his tone comes from the Dr Z amp he uses :) check out his live stuff he probably has a simple ts9 or something

Just the Dr.Z and a compressor. I have talked to him about it. He has a big peddleboard but he said he never uses anything else.

not bad ! very akin to the great Wilson Pickett's version, voice not as good as though. WP had Daune Allman on guitar,
athough I prefer this guys sound.

I have been watching Mr Burks for about five years at the laughlin river biker dude run. He's one bad MOW FOW.

His new song: strange Feelin is one of the best blues tunes to come along in awhile. He brings the real stuff!
