Cat. No. 2814: DAVE HOLE ~ THE PLUMBER. SHOCK / BLACK CAT BCD1002.

"ONCE IN A GENERATION, IT SEEMS, A FEROCIOUSLY GOOD SLIDE PLAYER EMERGES. DAVE HOLE, THE MIND-BOGGLING SLIDER FROM DOWN UNDER, IS SUCH A PLAYER. HE'S NEVER DONE HARD-TIME IN THE HARDSCRABBLE SOUTH OR LEARNED FIRST-HAND FROM A DELTA BLUESMASTER, YET DAVE HOLE CAPTURES AN UTTERLY BLUES-APPROVED SOUND. WHILE MANY BOTTLENECK PLAYERS BASE THEIR STYLES AROUND A FEW PATENTED PATTERNS, DAVE SPRAYS STEELY FIRE ALL OVER THE STRINGS, NAVIGATING STRATOSPHERIC LEAPS WITH THE GREATEST OF EASE. A SOUTHPAW WHO HOLDS THE GUITAR LIKE A RIGHT-HANDER, HE DEFIES TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUE BY PLAYING OVERHAND WITH HIS SLIDE ON HIS LEFT HAND INDEX FINGER. IN ANOTHER UNORTHODOX TECHNIQUE, HE FLAT-PICKS SLIDE AND USES A FINGERS-ONLY APPROACH FOR HIS STANDARD PLAYING, WHICH RECALLS STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN AND A PAIR OF KINGS. DAVE'S MAGNIFICENT DEBUT, 'SHORT FUSE BLUES', CAUGHT THE ATTENTION OF BLUES AND SLIDE LOVERS AROUND THE GLOBE. 'THE PLUMBER' DELIVERS MORE OF THE SAME RIGHTEOUS TRUTH" - JAS OBRECHT - GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE (EDITED). NEED ANYMORE BE SAID. RIGHT FROM THE PEN OF SOMEONE WHO KNOWS. ANOTHER SUPERB ALBUM BY DAVE HOLE *****
