He’s right handed, but his brothers taught him to play left handed and somehow the strings got turned upside down in the process.....at least that’s the word on the street.

Henrik Freischlader

Try Henrik Freischlader's album 'Recorded By Manfred Meinschäfer' - recorded and mixed in 2008 on valve equipment.
Contemporary audiophile and 1950's sound at the same time.

Here’s another throwback to the 60’s soul/R&B sound (By an Aussie band no less!), I’m not sure you could really classify this as ‘blues’ but it’s certainly blended in there some.

when I first listened to this I pictured CeeLo Green! Not sure if that’s a compliment?

Although this is a bluegrass tune (one of my favorites) this version brings a bit of a blues edge to it, I love bluegrass/blues fusion......it blends so well.

Gotta thank you for the inspiration. I always seem to come back to the blues, but hadn't gone very deep into the more contemporary artists. Big mistake. There's a lot to love out there.
