Bryan Lee - Braille Blues Daddy of Guitar (videos)

This came from an Amazon.com posting I did on November 6, 2003, from Bryan's CD,
Live at the Old Absinthe House (Friday Night):

Tabasco-style blues

At my high school reunion, a classmate named Kevin McMahon cornered me near the bar, handed me a CD, said that he liked my Roy Buchanan article--and insisted I needed to hear this guy. He was 100% right: Lee is the hot Daddy of Bad Blues and he commands respect. The story goes that Bryan plays in a bar in New Orleans and doesn't really leave the place--it's a home to him--and that special guests come to visit. We're talking special guests like James Cotton, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and Frank Marino (of Mahogany Rush).

Quick! my asbestos gloves, because what Stevie Wonder can do with a keyboard, Bryan Lee does with a guitar, and that is scorching good music. Oh, yeah, he's blind, too. We're talking raw, skin-it-alive Fender Stratocaster, folks. Can he sing? Nasty, raspy, and when he screeches, I swear the last time that kind of sound crossed my ears was in metal shop. The backup band's support is hot enough to melt lead, and there's more available. For an extra treat, try his "Crawfish Lady": both the music and the recipe are found on that disc. I warn you: there's no putting out this fire with any known substance, because Bryan Lee is too hot to control except under his own terms.
