The New Yorker blues genius Michael Powers plays "Baby's got a train", a beautiful interpretation of Howlin' Wolf's "Who's Been Talking?". Powers plays the tune from Bminor, and changes the structure of the song completely. Recorded at Terra Blues bar, New York. It goes without saying that this Michael Powers should not be confused with the fusion jazz guitar player with the same name.
I was with him. we did a performance at union college up in Schenectady NY. It rained and was like a second woodstock with the kids sliding in the mud. i had fun that day. =) ooooh baby!

EXCELLENT!!!!! So refreshing to hear someone with an original vibe and style,this one clip has you playing in a somewhat minimalist way,in other words,you're not playing in an immature way,no 30,00 notes per minute,real soul and blues. GREAT STUFF!!!+++++++
