Guys like Kirk "Eli" Fletcher shouldn't be rare and unusual in the blues, but as most blues fans already know, they are. Kirk is a young African-American man who has embraced and thoroughly immersed himself in the music of his parents, and grandparents: the blues sounds of the 1950s and '60s. Inspired by B.B. King's "Live At the Regal", his investigation of the blues began, and like a snowball rolling down a snowy mountain, has been picking up speed and gaining mass ever since.
