Negative Positive
Title: Are you people kidding me?
Review: I saw this dude open for Mavis Staples last summer in SF and it was the most masturbatory, by-the-numbers, stale as crotons show I've seen in many years. No question this guy knows how to play, but this material is just plain boring. I mean, this smug, sunglasses-wearing, vintage-guitar-collecting poser makes the Black Crowes look like the Faces. If you're really looking for some down homey sounding tube-driven rock made within the last 15 years or so, you might want to look the way of the Jayhawks or Uncle Tupelo (and their offshoots).
Is the review positive or negative?
