Everything from old fashioned country music that I was bottle fed when I was a kid. Hank Williams, Hank Snow, Marty Robbins, Charly Pride. HillBilly & RockaBilly stars like Johnny Burnette, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, Jerry Lee & of course Elvis. Right up to the Likes of Hendrix, Zappa, Page, Salvador Dali Domenech, Buchannon, Egor Stravinsky, Hank Marvin and all points in between.
Scotty Moore and Merle Travis for the Schooling on guitar pickin. Cliff Gallup for being the Damn Best! Peter Greene for the extra heartbreaking sound we all try to find.
Roy Harper & Richard Thompson, not an influence but songwriters who inspire me to try and write real songs in diffrent styles. Clever Bastards! I am also a new and huge fan of the "Bionic Grandad", Nic Jones!
Must admit a head nod or two to Massive attack that guy has soul in him.
People do ask, but no. Ive never listened to Bob Dylan or the Beatles. They just dont twang mah thang!
Berberman and the Mighty Smouldering Sons of the West!
