mentioned this guy before. Good friend, accomplished songwriter.
Nice little write up done locally(Chicago) this week.

While he's a great guitarist, his music relies HEAVILY on songwriting, lyrics, and arrangement. What you hear when you listen to his stuff is texture, emotion, not so much killer licks. Although his Dolly Varden stuff has some rockers, lots of lap steel etc.
and from his latest solo

Newer Dolly Varden - commit to this one, it's worth it, I was in the room, and it was a LOUD wall of sound, but hard to tell here
