I'll take Brian "Hash Brown" Calway over most of the others in those particular styles of blues, anyday :-)

@KayJayHP He sounds like most other "blues" players in the local scene IMO. All of the people I've heard thus far, in the local scene.. who are into "swing-blues" and "jump-blues".. all sound pretty much alike. And they all try to seemingly aim for the exact same tone. I've been exposed to blues music all of my life. I think Ray Charles type stuff may had been my first exposure to that sound... and I am speaking of actual "sound".. approach.. more than the music itself.. as RC was more R&B.

@margovallen Sure it does! And Anson, in particular, has his own phrasing or internal clock or rhythmic sense or whatever you want to call it. As I said, he can imitate various players to a T yet he has a style that when you hear it, you immediately recognize it.

@Tremolux59 I think thats Keven Schermerhorn.. sounds like him. My all-time favorite shuffle-drummer. Great meter, feel and keeps it in the pocket (all while looking darn good too.. haha).

[margovallen]

@KayJayHP Thats true of any guitarist, if they had someone to listen to.. we borrow from different people.. get our bag of tricks packed... and in time, we've developed our own style that is derived from the styles of many. Most everyones playing style is a melting-pot.. but, I think people generally have some sort of signature "twist" or move that allows their style to differentiate from everybody elses.

I hope that makes sense :-)

[Tremolux59]

Wow, great shuffle drummer.

[KayJayHP]

@vibroluxor What's amazing about Anson is that, while he does have his own style, he can imitate so many players perfectly. I saw Sam and him do about 20 minutes of T-Bone Walker tunes and his phrasing and licks were pure T-Bone. Anohter time I heard them do a Chuck Berry song and he sounded just like Chuck! I think his playing, like most modern "real" white blues players, is really an amalgam of a lot of different styels. I hear a lot of B.B. and Freddie King, Guitar Slim in his playing.

@iceman273 He plays almost exclusively in the first position, as such a huge fan you should know that. don't think you can't get much more 'repetitive' than that.

@vibroluxor He's my hero, I know his playing inside and out. This one sounded a bit off to me, that's all.
