During the Roaring Twenties and Great Depression, Blind Willie Johnson,Tampa Red and Robert Johnson recorded unsurpassed bottleneck blues.After the war, Muddy Waters, Elmore James and Earl Hooker electrified listeners with amped-out blues. Following in their huge footsteps, roots-reverent innovators such as Duane Allman, Johnny Winter, Lowell George, and Ry Cooder conjured bottleneck magic in blues-rock arenas, each player adding his own distinctive stamp. Dave Hole , the mind-boggling slider from Down Under, belongs in such company. He's never done hard-time in the hard scrabble American South or learned first-hand from a Delta bluesman, yet Dave Hole captures an utterly blues-approved sound. He specializes in original songs that mine deep urban veins, but has no trouble heating up difficult covers. (His concert high points include a shredding Purple Haze onslide and -- far more difficult -- a harrowing Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground that's precise without losing the raw.) While many bottleneck players base their styles on a few patented patterns, Dave sprays a steely fire all over the strings, navigating stratospheric leaps with the greatest of ease. A southpaw who holds the guitar like a right-hander, he defies traditional technique byplaying overhand with his slide on his left hand index finger. In another unorthodox technique, he flatpicks slide and uses a fingers-only approach for his standard playing, which recalls Stevie Ray Vaughan and a pair of Kings. Dave's magnificent debut, Short Fuse Blues, caught the attention of blues and slide lovers around the globe. Working Overtime delivers more of the same righteous truth.
