Pure, articulate, uncomplicated.... simply precise. Everyone has a unique style, be it singing or playing, but Kevin's style just defines what the guitar was intended for. It's inseparable from the person... a part of him. And I truly like what I hear.
Kevin demonstrates that solo acoustic can be thoughtful and melodic and not always busy and technically flashy a la the Tommy Emmanuel style that so many players copy.
his sound and approach are the very reason I put down the pick.. to me the fingers are just more natural and intuitive.. the sound seems more "alive and connected" just my two cents... there seems to be no intercessor between him and the guitar.. its his mind and sound that flow through...
Shadow Prophets is my fav by him of all time! The way this guy plays rivals the best in the industry on that album! I have no idea why Kevin isn't as respected as guys like George Benson, Pat Metheny, Scofield...and he's better than alot of these guys! Not Pat though...heh heh. (selfish reply) but Kevin is a beast...I've always loved his playing...
His albums (Notables include Shadow Prophets and Face to Face) can be found on online stores such as Amazon or eBay. DEFINITELY worth checking them all out.

Fantastic player. Jay Leno has fine taste to recognize Kevin's greatness! This piece is very expressive and shows the man's depth.
