It was me.
I think I first read about him in the liner notes of Hysteria.
Sean Costello used to be a regular at the Northside Tavern here, which also has other unbelievable bands in this vein I've posted (that seem to go ignored). That's what amazes me about Vintage Trouble's success, is that there's been bands doing that kind of music for a long time, but no Doc McGhee ever gets behind them and gets them opening spots for The Who or on David Letterman.
I've got his CD "Cuttin' In," which was recorded in an old school, all-tube studio with ribbon mics just like the blues albums of the `50's and early `60's. I saw him in Guitar Center shopping for a strap just a few months before he died of an OD. Always wished I'd gone over to tell him I liked that album.
