Thanks to Grahame Rhodes for tipping me off to this little gem of a YouTube.
John Schooley is a complete new name to me, but man, what a sound and a drive. I highly recommend digging a little deeper and looking at the official website and his MySpace site.

Just shows you how being in the right place at the right time helps - this guy wipes the floor with Seasick Steve for me - mind you don’t suppose he has been on national TV on New Year’s Eve!
De acuerdo!
I agree with Grahame (as usual). A slot on Jools must be like pure gold to a relatively unknown performer. Because this site had a post mentioning Seasick Steve I saw the nunber of hits double and treble in the days around New Year.
