Yeah, it's the gray haired guy from the 2006 American Idol but this is worth a listen before passing off as a fluke. He's pretty good and the band is tight. . Actually,  he turns in a strong vocal performance on a good selection of covers and originals. Some A&R type from the major labels should have found him sooner than this and given him and the band a chance to make a record.
