Imagine if you will Elton John circa Empty Sky meets the Allman brothers circa, well, circa “Melissa” plus a rock star Davy Knowles, so great with todd Leibowitz fave Davy Knowles. That is what Rob Drabkin brings you on his excellent cover of, well, “Melissa”.
The acoustic finger blues bringde is gorgeous and Rob sounds like he just got off the singer-songwriter tour bus of your early 70s road dream not in his home town Denver, Colorado, but outside Los Angeles troubador. the bridge, hand picked blues chords all the way, is a real treat.
Rob mentions it has sent Gregg a check for $27. Cmon, guys, let’s support this guy till he owes Gregg $27,000.
