Ordinarily, these recordings would be impressive. But when you consider they’re from an artist still in his teens, it gives it a whole ‘nother boost. “Shoulda Seen The Other Guy” is powered by a bold beat, blues-rockin’ riffs, and a gutsy voice that’s perfect for the material. Lighter and upbeat, “I’m Coming Around” has a great chorus along with finger-picked electric guitar, tasty organ parts, female backup singers, and harmonies that build-and-drop effectively. With piano, organ and, of course, guitar (not to mention a small church choir), Teal nails the classic Allman Brothers ballad sound with “Georgia Eyes” his paen to the Peach State. Somebody quick! Get this kid an opening slot with Tedeschi-Trucks!
