Tom Holland & The Shuffle Kings
author: Paul Doppelt
Tom shows himself as a mature guitar player with a masterful control of the slide. His songs evoke the masters. True to his teachers John Primer and Magic Slim Tom is the real deal! Catch one of his shows with James Cotton or with his band The SHuffle Kings. This CD is damn good!
Excellent !

I saw Tom Holland play at Blue Chicago about 3 years ago; it was great to hear his music again. The only regret I have is that I would have liked more tracks on it. Otherwise, it would be a great addition to anybody's collection.
