Search - Michael Hill's Blues Mob :: New York State of Blues

You may not have heard Michael Hill, but you should. He is the sound of things to come. Although Hill's explosive guitar playing echoes Buddy Guy and Stevie Ray Vaughn, don't let that fool you; he is very much his own man. Check out his unique slide playing on "A Case of the Blues." There are few who can match Hill's frantic approach with a bottleneck. Michael's interpretation of "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" breathes new life into this seminal favorite. His band, the Mob, would be hard to top. These are three musicians who have definitely got their chops down. They provide a solid foundation for Hill's soaring performances. With "Young Folks' Blues," Michael shows his pride in being a bluesman of the future. And to tell you the truth, in his hands the future looks pretty bright. --Lars Gandil
