Topic: Matt O'Ree and Gino Matteo '06 King of Blues Contest

Was listening to Matt O'Ree tonight and picked up his album Shelf Life.  I highly recommend this album.  The New Jersey native is a polished guitarist blessed with a fine voice and most importantly a gifted songwriter.  The album's a nice blend of rockers and blues songs.
Checked out some vids of him and watched the finals of the '06 King of Blues competition with O'Ree beating out a very good Gino Matteo.
