Wow, that sounded great! Guitar solo at the end was especially mind blowing.🤯 I have to admit I hadn't heard of him until I found your channel CR. It's like Molly Hatchet or Skynard, but better because of the Irish kick to it. Great stuff brother man 👍

Shadow Play and Million Miles Away are two of his absolute genius songs. Reflects his character, a little bit of Jekyll, a little Mr. Hyde, while showing off his virtuoso playing.
