| D.D.: There�s a lot of versatility on it, too. You�ve got that Robin Trower sound on �Soul Perspective�, and you�ve got the jazz of �Too Cool�, and then there�s the �Fat�black, Flatblack�� (oh, I can�t say that fast�) TIM: (very fast) �Flatblack Flathead�? D.D.: Yeah (laughing)� TIM: It�s a tongue-twister� D.D.: It�s just another genre all about itself�and that�s great that there�s so much variety on it.

I like blues-rock bands, rock-centered bands like Credeence Clearwater. I grew up with that kind of stuff. I took a look around and it seemed that everything got of retro and some of the bands were trying to sound like Little Walter�s band. And, well, I love that kind of thing. D.D. Well, with the Blues in the Schools thing, the younger people are getting interested in it and the roots stuff and actually I�ve saw a 13-year-old boy (Jimmy Bowskill) playing blues the other day and he�s just awesome. He�s like another Jonny Lang � he�s got the voice, the guitar chops� TIM: That�s cool, you know. It all seems like there became this attitude that if it didn�t sound old, it wasn�t any good and that kind of pissed me off. You know what I mean? �Gee, you sound like Z.Z. Top�. Well, so what?
