He is no junior singer-songwriter trying to find his way around the acoustic guitar with heartfelt tunes. He's on the piano for one thing, and no, he's no Elton balladeer either. Instead, it sounds like he's from some other generation entirely, some made-up one that has touches of country in the 50's, New Orleans in the 20's, and Cab Calloway in the 40's. Jazzy-bluesy numbers are swapped with rollicking proto-rockabilly, everything swinging.
