Tinsley is an amazing but not-too-well-known guitarist/singer/songwriter who is extremely entertaining live...I've seen him a couple of times in small clubs and twice at the Tampa Bay Blues Festival where he put on a smoking show. His band is always excellent, including his ever-present bassist "The Evil One".
My personal favorite of the albums I've heard is "Storm Warning" where you will find great tracks including the (aforementioned) "To the Devil for a Dime" and "A Quitter Never Wins" (which he wrote, but Johnny Lang, also a fan, made a more popular recording of) and a killer version of Freddie King's "Sidetracked".
I also love "Hell or High Water" and "Live: Highwayman" is strongly recommended also. He's been around forever, should be better known. Like Joe, and one of my other favorites, Warren Haynes, he can play acoustic, electric, slide, rhythm and lead, sing and write catchy or deeply emotional songs. In other words, the "total package".
If you haven't run across him, definitely check him out.
I seem to recall that he sat in for a few songs with Joe at a show a number of years ago in/around Atlanta, but can't remember the details.
