Joe Pitts is one of the hottest slide guitarists in the business. He is reminiscent of Warren Haynes and Tim Brooks.

-- Michael Knippschild, SRA Musicshop, Germany

Say you long for the tasty slide of Duane Allman? Well don't we all? Joe Pitts seems to really channel Skydog at times on slide and lead guitar, and his vocals are very easy on the ear as well.
