Mr. David Viner

Think Nick Drake having a session with Leon Redbone and Son House and you come up with something close to Mr. David Viner. Thoroughly schooled in the blues, folk, and acoustic pop, Mr. Viner has been toiling away in the United Kingdom, though he did have his first record made in Detroit during the craze there in 2003.

The Downliners Sect

The Downliners Sect was a British rhythm and blues band of the beat boom era, formed in 1963 when the existing Downliners band split up. Stylistically, they were similar to The Yardbirds, The Pretty Things and the Rolling Stones, playing basic R & B on their first album "The Sect". They subsequently modified their musical style, and after an EP of 'sick' songs (eg 'I want my Baby Back') they experimented with both country ("The Country Sect") and rock ("Rock Sect's In").
