[skippy, remotely]

If he has influences, they don't show..love that!!

The mark of Neil's greatness, imo, is that one the one hand his influences are pretty obvious (and he's quite frank about them): his Bobliness, Hank Williams, Link Wray, and so on. But on the other hand he's worked out an entire sound all his own around the double drop D tuning, so his songwriting is unique.

And this CD is amazing. I would even put it on a "if you only own one Neil CD" list.
