Blues: Paul Thorn

I just discovered this guy after seeing him perform at the Snowbird Rock and Blues festival in Utah this past weekend. His web page: Paul Thorn, his myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/paulthorn

I bought his CD 'A Long Way From Tupelo' at the festival, which he signed. It's all quite good, in the vein of American swamp blues. Think John Fogerty with a bit more country feel. His myspace page has samples, good stuff. He has a fantastic drummer in his band, completely in the pocket.

At the Snowbird Blues festival I also saw Buckwheat Zydeco and Keb' Mo', but Paul Thorn had the best set of the 3 of them, and I am a big Keb' Mo' fan.
