One of the true intertainers I've ever heard. He came out and said I don't care if theys 20 or 200, I'm going to put on a show. He damn tore it up and it was 35 degrees that night. A true bluesman. You don't play with the SOBs if you aren't. I love you Carl.
Carl is a great bluesman, and should be recognized as such!... truly ..and--I'm happy to add, from first-hand knowledge, that he is also a great guy -- proud to call him a friend! I think this track says it all .... he is the real deal, and has been for a really long time!
Here's another monster musician who is virtually unknown on the world stage; because real talent just doesn't mean that much, anymore. But we, the people in the know, can still dig it. Thank you Carl. Whenever I saw him come off the stage after a set, he seemed to have this invisible, electromagnetic ether glowing around his entire body and face. A truly spiritual musician who partially leaves this world when he does his thing. One amazing blues-cat. Miss you bro; Jeffro. I'm living on the other side of the world, now.
Just saw my brother Carl sort things out at B.L.U.E.S. Thanks for all you've done, drop Austin and keep up north. I'm glad you still make regular appearances up Halsted way.
