Here comes an excellent British blues singer and guitar player who puts on his work with a passionate personal sense of writing and conceiving his blues Dave tries -and I think he gets it- to create and develop a very open way of playing blues that, without forgetting blues sources, goes to new musical tastes and trends So he does not hesitate to create and experiment new musical fields, as a way to arrive to very different audiences If he has to come closer to ‘new age’ music, he does it directly, and he does not wonder if he is betraying the blues, because the true thing is that he does not do it Thre self produced records which have a quite similar special sound Dave always tries to investigate among the unlimited blues possibilities (that are much wider than the typical twelve bars) finding innovative new ways to perform blues This paranoiac egocentric ‘son of a bitch’ -as he uses to call himself- comes out succesfully with his rockin’ bluessy and boogie songs
