Yes. If you check out all his other YouTube videos, you can see that this guy, his name is Rick, is greatly influenced by the Southern CA sound -- that whole composite of styles (& similarities) you find in the Eagles & mid-70s Mac & Jackson Browne & America as well as their British counterparts like Elton John. And sure enough, most of his videos are of the material of these writers & singers, dozens & dozens of them.
Rick also does an excellent "Crystal" somewhere up on YouTube. He's a very solid singer, very meat & potatoes, very "campfire-style" (for those of us who went to summer camp). His guitar work (he's self-taught) is accurate & unobtrusive & capable, & his piano playing (lessons) on songs like "Rocket Man" & "Lady Madonna" has many of the same characteristics his guitar playing has.
I'd like to hear Rick, ragandbone/Eliza, & buckymcnix play & sing Fleetwood Mac songs together. The three of them could harmonize on tone! (which doesn't often happen in Fleetwood Mac in live situations) If Mikki ever comes back to the Ledge, she can join that trio & make it a foursome.
See if you can find his "Crystal." I think you'll enjoy it.
