Thomas Lucas

[snakehips]

Hi there !

A few years back, I told y’all about my new young bandmate, Thomas Lucas,

He is 24yrs old now and a serious blues fan, and developing his blues skills, especially prewar stuff.

Didn’t really think there were many Papa Charlie Jackson fans out there but Thomas has enough of his tunes on his youtube page (with him playing 6-string banjo), to fill a whole CD !!

However, this tune, on guitar, he has just put on youtube blew me away !

Thank you to share this video : I'm not an expert of any style but that's simply brilliant & very convincing (voice & playing)!
