Michael Burks is a name never to be forgotten!! He gave me the chills as you an hear on the video George made.
He was the best new man I saw after the first Joeshow I saw. Just brilliant and a very nice man too.
Love the man, he is like a teddybear but man what can he play: hard, soft, soulful and that all with the same guitar the whole show.
In November he is coming to Holland and guess who will be there: I think the whole Schoeppingen audience!

Oh yeah. I'm loving this. One more name on the radar!
More evidence of Michael's wonderful tone.

Michael Burks is playing at July 3th in Gaildorf Bluesfestival. It´s a little place between Stuttgart and Nürnberg. Other artists in the line up: Matt Schofield, Coco Montoya(4.7.) and Bernard Allison(4.7.).
I might go for one day - even when I have to work on the next day. Andre and George, there are cheap flights from Amsterdam!!

Check out Matt Schofield, he's great!

Yes, definitively. I know him up to now only from playing on Ian Siegal´s "Meat and Potatoes".

Nürnberg isn't exactly around the corner, though! I fear that I'll have to be hoarding my pennies for the August adventure. If I try real hard, I can probably make it till November's Dutch shows. 
I know where Nurnberg is Gunter but I have to work. Impossible to come., the last schoolweeks and they are very busy for me.
tests, meetings etc.
I'll try to visit you and family this or next year in Schnaittach, maybe at another festival.

George´s video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwEyRYCuots
Thanks dear George ... the video compensates for not having been there on Sunday.
Eva
George you just created one of my favourite video's there , i'm loving this
What a capture of this Brilliant Haunting tune .... it is superb .... Really
That's right up there with some of the great performances i've seen
Michael Burks was in the zone there , Awesome tone and feeling and his voice was perfect
And that 5 note hook , What a Great Song
Thanks Buddy
............................... Michael
Eva, thanks for doing the tricky bits.
Michael, thanks for the overly generous praise *blushes* all I did was point the thing and try not to move or breathe too hard. 
Which reminds me Michael, *blushes again* I owe you mail. Apologies, good buddy.
Well Günter, you've seen the video now....are you convinced?
Günter, talk to me, I need to know....did Michael do 'it' for you or not? 
*Michael*, pin your ears back for this, mate!
Andre will remember this killer intro of Michael's opening number at Schoeppingen, because we exchanged a meaningful look after just a few notes. The sound quality isn't ideal, especially when he sings, but this clip gives you a good idea of the raw power of this band and of this man's fantastically beautiful 'tone'. He pushes my buttons big time, as the more perceptive readers may have noticed by now.

Just got Iron Man (Fathers day present) and what a great album it is.
Reminds me a little of Robert Cray - but more like a 'full-fat' version
Another great artist discovered I've discovered on this board!

Another recruit to the cause, excellent!
I like the idea of a "full-fat" Robert Cray.

Hi George, I´m back from holidays in Bretagne, and finally got to see your video. It´s great!! I know the Iron Man CD, but Michael seems to be even better live - and it was an excellent song you´ve taped. I´m always astonished how good the sound can be taped by these little cameras.
Sorry that I can´t make it to Gaildorf next weekend but he´ll be in Germany again in autumn. I think we (Europeans) are getting spoilt by a lot of good music these days.
