You won't mistake Lyle for anyone else; not if you listen closely. Sure, you hear some Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Duane Allman, and the usual suspects behind him, in the same way that nearly every jazz musician's got a trace of Charlie Parker in their DNA, but unlike today's pop music where everyone sounds pretty much like everyone else, Lyle's got his own style, and a music that might move you.
