Thought I would share my views on this artist. Recommended the CD from a friend (Shine Eyed Mr Zen) and blew my mind away. If you like blues (Robert Johnson variety) this is for you. One guy, one slide guitar, that is apparently played on his lap, and one silky voice. Seriously recommended. Can't wait to demo it on the new "5" series I am ordering...

Check out Amazon on similar opinions..... Anybody heard his other stuff??

I first read about KJP in a UK Magazine called UNCUT. They had written a review about a gig he had played in London. Sounded so interesting that I went out and bought Shine Eyed Mr Zen the next day - not something I would normally do, and was just blown away by this man's talent.

I'll definately be exploring more of his stuff.

Great recommendation, great music, great recording.

Regards

Neil

What did you think about his rendition of Goodnight Irene? Although this was initially the one I was least looking forward to listening to, I now think it is one of the best renditions I've heard.

Have now ordered one of his others - can't remember the title but am waiting with baited breath...
