WATCH: Dan Patlansky perfectly explains what modern blues is 

The blues is "always hip and cool." A timeless truth. Dan, love what you do.

Lovely guy, and hell of a guitarist. Touring UK in March 2018, get along.

I saw SRV in the late 80's in Newcastle , UK. He was very good. But I actually think Dan Patlansky is more expressive and more refined. SRV's style was much more raucous whereas DP seems to more expressive. So my take is they are different but both absolutely worth seeing

Correction you cannot see SRV

Oh shucks I might just be one of those okes who cause that condition of vertigo upon the introvert.

That must have been a really stupid person who thinks Frank Sinatra's music is Blues. I'm a South African and there are lots of people who love blues and blues rock and who know the difference between Sinatra's genre (whatever that is?) and real blues. We love you Dan, you were born and nurtured in SA even though you now deserve to be permanently based overseas.
