I have said it a million times, the sound that chris layton got out of his drums in a time where double bass drummers were drowning in the reverb that was soaking their kits was absolutely influential to many musicians-not just drummers. tommy was an amazing bass player. he played in all the holes without ever stepping on the music's toes. and SRV-not enough can be said. I would say that his tone to guitar player is like elvis to impersonators. everyone tries, some have gotten close, but there is not a soul who can get that tone. if jesus played guitar, it would sound like stevie ray. you can put heavy strings on and buy the vintage amps, but you're wasting your time and money. it's not "find something that someone hasn't already done" with stevie, it's something that no one else can do. there's never been, isn't, and never will be a stevie ray copy cat. it's not physically or sonically possible.

Here is the entire concert (mp3): http://www.studioruigrok.nl/fiction_plane/ The lead singer is the son of Sting (of the Police)...and if you mix up the letters from Fiction Plane, you can get "Infant Police". I haven' stopped listening to this show since I downloaded a few weeks ago. Hope you enjoy it too.
