Do you think Linda could book him at the museum? — Rick Top
PolloGuitar Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 5097 San Francisco	Posted on Oct 31 2008 01:03 PM Wow, that is a great track. He is a great picker. I suppose he's doing all the vibrato work by bending the neck on his Tele. AND he has enough time to do the Flash animations as well.

WoodyJ Joined: Apr 05, 2006 Posts: 1544 Bethlehem, GA	Posted on Oct 31 2008 01:13 PM Wow, that kinda reminds me of "1960's Nokie" on steroids. I like it! Brad was on Austin City Limits a few weeks back...a stellar performance. He's definitely a smokin' player. Just goes to show ya, that you don't necessarily need a Strat, Jazzmaster Jaguar or a Fender amp to play some really good surf. It's mostly in the hands, not the tools. But a good Tele and a Dr.Z amp is pretty good gear... — Jack Booth (aka WoodyJ) The Mariners (1964-68, 1996-2005) The Hula Hounds (1996-current) The X-Rays (1997-2004) The Surge!

JonW Joined: Mar 07, 2008 Posts: 237 Indiana	Posted on Dec 20 2008 12:08 PM Thanks for pointing out this song. Its really an excellent one. So I bought the whole CD and have been listening to it for the past month or so. The first country CD Ive ever bought. And you know what its really good! Turfs Up is my favorite song on there, by a long shot. No other surf songs. But this guy has serious chops. Hes got a really nice Tele twang going that Ive been drawn toward lately. Im pretty impressed with his range. In addition to this surf song there is a rocker in the mold of Eric Johnson/Joe Satriani. And a nice sounding jazz tribute to Les Paul. Theyre good, too. Not just pathetic attempts at tributes that I might expect. The duet with BB Kind I just OK (despite how much I like BB King.) And hes got a song called Cluster Pluck with about 6 country guitar legends. The playing and sounds of that song are simply amazing. So I gotta say that if you appreciate good guitar playing and have any affinity for a twangy Tele country sound, I definitely recommend this album. And for a mere $9 or so, you have little to loose.

Apart from a few duets the rest of it is instrumental... I picked it up a few weeks ago, and was not blown away. I'd heard it was an all instro album with a surf tune or two. Well it has 4 or 5 vocals on it, and one song roughly in the surf vein. He's a helluva player, a total tone freak (Trainwreck, Dr Z and vintage Vox amps) and of the modern country artists, to me he is by far the most impressive. The CD is well played and covers a lot of diverse styles. I realy admire him for sticking his neck out there, and risking alienating his massive fan base with "weird music without vocals". IMHO, any instrumental music exposure to the masses is a good thing. Maybe it will grow on me, but for now I'm glad that I didn't pay full price for it (I found a cheap promo copy in the used CD bins). Anyway, kudos to Brad for putting out a CD for the love of the music, at the risk of dubious commercial appeal. Bob — Bob Top

As is the norm, the three of us kinda got separated and for while were off on our own. I was standing in a guy's booth checking out a Silvertone 1472 amp and some guy wearing a cowboy hat stepped up and we struck up a conversation. We both passed on the amp and for about 30 minutes, we just hung out, checking stuff out. Finally somebody who knew him, recognized him and started up a conversation. It was Brad and I wouldn't have known him from Adam's house cat............. He's a nice guy though and one hell of a player. ed — Traditional........speak softly and play through a big blonde amp. Did I mention that I still like big blonde amps? Top
