My influences are Robert Cray, Albert King, John Mayer and even some of the later country artists like Alabama and Ronnie Milsap. I've played behind legendary bluesmen like WC Clark, Ike Turner, Long John Hunter, Matthew Robinson, Hosea Hargrove, Art Lewis, Don Bryant and a host of others. I play in the upside-down, left-handed style of guys like Eddie Clearwater, Otis Rush, and Albert King, with the high E strung on top and the Low E on the bottom. Our style is modern yet traditional. We want to be true to what it is we love about blues music. But we also want to be able to interpret it in a way that everyone can enjoy, not just a certain age group. It kind of goes in and out of being a straight blues record to kind of a soul and funk groove throughout. Some Reviews: Austin Chronicle: "Darius Jackson and the Mighty Texas Blues Band are the real deal. Great instrumentation and vocals make them great to listen to, and a live show is even better." Texas Music Monthly: "This kid plays far beyond his years. Darius Jackson truly is a master of his craft. Watching him is reminiscent of Albert King and Otis Rush, with licks as furious as Eric Gailes or Doyle Bramhall Jr." Ike Turner: "That boy is the truth. No questions, he got it!"
