While I can appreciate Davy for stepping up his game, I believe there might be an underlying aspect behind the original band breaking up. The drummer, bless his soul, had the appearance of a drunkard from a Isle of Man pub. The bass player, whose skill is remarkable, had the stage energy of bump on a log. Unfortunately, the new band members are more visually appealing and have more energy on stage. None of which I can say is Davy's fault, but rather the band's American producer. While I'm on the subject of Davy's new producer, I can also say I'm somewhat disappointed in the second album. BDS became my favorite band last year with the combination of blues and rock songs. Davy's truly talented for blues guitar. But maybe its Peter Frampton's influence, but the new album has a different approach and more rock then blues now. To make matters worse, instead of adding a rhythm guitarist to allow Davy to sing and play lead, they added an old has-been alterative rock keyboardist that sadly attempts to steal the show from Davy. I like the new album; it’s just not what I expected. Look at SRV's original work, his guitar screamed, his voice was sound... He started to become a big band and it took away from the roots of his music. Davy, be true to yourself, sing with your soul, and strum the guitar to the heavens.
