You can tell they were raised right because his brothers and his family are all the same kind hearted ❤️. I found Kurt because I followed his brother CT Fletcher powerhouse of a weightlifting champion from way back and it just so happened Kurt was on one of the KZbin videos of CT so I figured I check it out because I also enjoy playing the guitar and the blues. I'm glad I did .God bless

In the first song, I'm pretty sure he was going directly to the amp (maybe a compressor) and it was crisp. Kirk is great for today. Hes got that old sound but hes incorporated and expanded on the style he expresses. And what a great touch -- understands the power of dynamics and building a solo. Solid stuff!
