CRAZY FINGERS
The David Nelson Band is the best “jam band” on the planet these days, bar none. I sometimes have a hard time believing how great they are. When I hear them live I find myself entirely consumed with musical satisfaction. The songs are wonderful – originals and covers (Nelson has the same great ear for American music that his pal Garcia had), and every player in that band is an absolute master of his muse. Mookie’s voice is a perfect match for Nelson’s. Every jam is purposeful, eloquent, democratic and inspired, and that good ol’ GD thing of inviting the listener to “think this through” together is in full force. I wish I could be there for every show they ever play.
