Local Music Fans: Check it out/Opinions

For those of you who like live local music, here is a local unsigned band called Mercury Boulevard. Lead singer/song writer/lead guitarist is Blake Ryan. The drummer is Bobby "Blue" Bland's son, Rodd Bland. I may have posted about them a while back, but I can't find that thread and I have some new music to throw at you guys.

Here are some tracks. Let me know what you think.
If You're Gone (Acoustic)
Blacktop Road (Studio)
The Mississippi (Studio)

Here they are in live vids. The video quality is not the best, but you get the idea. Blake Ryan has been described by Eric Gales as 'one bad man'.

Blake Ryan & Eric Gales - June, 2007 (Live @ The Poplar Lounge Memphis TN)
Use Me (Live @ Gibson Guitar Factory Roof Party, Memphis, TN)
Old Love - Eric Clapton Cover (Live on Beale Street Memphis, TN)
Purple Rain - Prince Cover (Live @ The Poplar Lounge Memphis, TN)

I took all of the following photos myself.

Here are two live performances from when the band visited a radio station in Little Rock Arkansas. This is Blake Ryan and Walter Hughes performing live and acoustic.

I hope you guys enjoy these.
