Hey! Thanks for the angle change.. Now I can see what your left hands are doin 😊 🔥🔥🔥
In all seriousness though… If for nothing… I stumbled across you guys a few weeks ago. Cover songs are great to listen to but I always go back to the original artist… Something is always missing, or the band attempts to do too much with the song… Not you guys! Y’all have something special going on.. Thanks

👍 I’m ‘old’ enough (70ish) to remember THE original L.S. version’s song, but ‘young’ enough to listen and 💞 Warren Haynes/Gov’t Mule. Paul reminds me very much like him/them - both in the way of vocal styles and 🎸 playing, as well as his appearance! I’ve been watching all Kyle/Texas Flood’s 🌟 music since 1st hearing them less than a month ago - 👏 guys! Much appreciated and wish you lots of success in the future!
