Mikey Jr & Band

[Blue Stew]

For most of the time, the main complaint I have on young talent is their 
"over-the-top" factor. I mean, they over state everything from stage 
antics, facial contortions, vocal screams to blistering fast blues 
scales. This young talent seems to have already got it out of his system 
and now plays with the taste and finesse of a middle-aged, seasoned pro. 
I like his name too.
