Went with a few friends to Dosey Doe's in The Woodlands Sunday night and saw a teenage guitar phenom named Clay Melton. Most everyone probably has not heard of him, but with some luck he may be the next Stevie Ray Vaughn, and I don't say that lightly.
I love the musical style that Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray unfortunately took to their grave, and there has been noone that I know of who could get anywhere near their shoes. But this young man was increadible.
When he announced during the concert that the next song would be a cover of Hendrix' "Hey Joe" I groaned and said to myself that noone should cover that song. But he tore it apart, in a good way.
If you like blues/rock guitar, check out the Clay Melton Band. You'll thank me later. Talents like this need the support of the guitar enthusiasts and music lovers out there. The music industry is nearly impossible to break into, but this guy is the real deal and deserves a shot.
Oh, and BTW, visit Dosey Does while you're at it. The place is a hidden gem.
