    I learned of Unknown through the Squidbilles TV show, I was wondering who was responsible for the great voice work...Little did I know that the guy with the great voice could play even better! WOW! What a surprise to find a guy that could shred the guitar like Unknown! I have seen, and met Unknown several times in Tuscaloosa and Birmingham, Alabama. He is one of the best guitarists around today. I love his version of "18", by Alice Cooper; He says I'm "Unknown" instead if 18. He starts the song with the medley of Robin Trowers, "Bridge of Sighs". Awesome!

    I'm lucky enough to have grown up with unknown playing around town all the time (I'm in his home town) and he has the best live guitar sound ever! I kind of hate he switched from AC-30's to the Fender SuperSonics. Him doing Hendrix live at the Visulite with a Rickenbacker 620 into a cracked AC-30 is one of the greatest things I've witnessed...

    A true master of music, he plays all the instruments on his recordings, writes, produces and directs his video works and shows, and is the kinda guy that when you watch him wear that Reverend out, makes you wish you were him! Fantastic tone! I've seen him playing an SG with a VOX AC-30, then a Rickenbacker with an AC-30, but now has his sound really nailed down with the Reverend and the Fender Showman. He should be known by EVURRBUDDY, so spread th' word!
