Man, I just hate that I found him well after his early work. So many years missed of enjoying him.
But! Back before covid, when I finally gave him a listen, there was all those years of music waiting to dive into. So I guess it works out lol.
Like, I had heard him before then, just never really paid attention. I can't think of a single song he's sung that I don't like, which is pretty rare for me. Gotta admit to being pretty basic in my favourites, stuff like "days gone by", the more ballad side of things.
I 100% know what you mean. I first heard his voice when I picked up Slash’s solo work right around the release of “World on Fire” and I fell in love real quick. A few years later, after getting wholly familiar with the entire body of the Alter Bridge family of work I met a guy who was a fan of The Mayfield Four back when they were actually making music and I got really jealous. Everything from both “Fallout” and “Second Skin” is a masterclass in poetic songwriting if you ask me. However, seeing Myles and Zia tour during the “Year of the Tiger” tour felt pretty damn close to seeing a Mayfield Four show so I was very happy with that.
