I agree, this soloist is not for me either. Way too busy. I just auditioned all the soloist tracks by LD Miller and he's way too busy and choppy on all of them even the slow ones at 80. Not soulful blues at all. This is just me listening to the demo's in the RT Picker. Then I set up a 12 bar blues in Biab and tried different keys and tempos. I've never had a guy play harp in a blues band sound like this. There are so many different styles of blues from all over the world now who knows what's considered good? I'm sure LD must be considered a great player but if this is really his style it's not for me.
To Nigel I don't think there's anything wrong with these tracks from a production pov, they're just not what you're looking for in a harp player and I agree with you. If LD sat in with me and played like that I'd give him one song then say "Thanks for sitting in man, see ya around".
