Title: A SOLID BLUES CD
Review: Holt may well reach the standard of those he has been influencedby, but not yet. This is a good blues cd but not a great or original one. He sticks to the basic blues formulae and I don't think he is good enough to instill his own signature to the tunes he plays, consequently they are all fairly straight and recognisable blues fare.What is amazing is that DOUBLE TROUBLE, when backing him on 4 tracks lift the sound to another level, something the other backing bands don't manage. It is nowhere near as good or as original as DAVID GOGO, VINCE CONVERSE,ERIC GALES or SCOTTY HENDERSON,COLIN JAMES and MARK MAY amongst others.Had to add another star as 4 weeks listening revealed enough quality that escapes on first listens.
