It's not GB in particular, it's the entire genre. There are only a few genres
of music that drive me nuts no matter how well they're done. For example,
in general I'm not a big country music fan but I _love_ George Jones, Townes
van Zandt, Allison Kraus, Steve Earle, and so on. Not a big heavy metal fan
but enjoy AC/CD and Motorhead just fine. But I've yet to hear a smooth jazz
outfit that I could stand listening to.
So in GB's case, his starting to sing more or less coincided with his turn
into the smooth jazz world. When he was a bumping young kid playing in organ
trios I love his stuff, but that's where I lose the plot.
Nothing personal, and I don't deny his talent and chops, but I don't deny
Joe Satriani's chops either but I don't listen to him.
