Unfortunately, not much out there from him on you tube, but here's one to give an idea of how he takes a song and makes it his own, while still respecting the original.

"House of the Rising Sun"

In the time that has passed since I posted that, Michael Burks has passed away, his final album "Show of Strength" was released posthumously.

Always liked their cover of Fire on the Mountain.

And of course, "Jackassolantern" is a live album in a category all it's own.
