I totally love Mike O’Connell,

If you love the Allman Brothers you will love the Mike O’Connell Band. Not only does the band do a mean “Whipping Post”  they go into some pretty wild rock, leaning to the more psychedelic side, as well.  You should hear some of the guitar solos. Mike and the band have been known to lay down some  hot Southern Rock and I mean smokin hot. At most of the gigs they offer up some  ZZ Top, Tom  Petty and even  reggae stuff.   I remember a while back at the Dog Bar when the band did a couple of Door’s tunes “Riders On The Storm and “Soul Kitchen” it blew me away. I was thinking this is way better than the Doors, really and it could never be reproduced like that again, and it hasn’t.  It was just one of those moments. There are some originals on his music page that I wish he would share more often.  “Eyes Wide Open”, “Hard Bargain” and “Stars” are a  just a few.
