I Dont Need No Doctor - Pryor Baird and the Deacons


The Pryor Baird Band stems from California's central coast, playing originals as well as traditional Blues, Roots, and Americana. Pryor Baird fronts the group, with powerful yet delicate guitar work; nimble fingers aren't his only asset. Pryor is well known for his burning slide melodies and solid rough vocals. Leading the rhythm section is Bassit, Artist Joyce (AJ); he puts down a distinctive "fat hollow sound" that drives the band along.The man on the downbeat is none other than Gabriel Riley II, drummer extrodinaire, whether it's laying it back slow or driving it through the roof,gabe has got it naied. Mike Torres Jr adds to the band his melodic keyboard expertise.This is a band that can take a blues standard and make it sound brand new. You don't hardly get this combination of musical talent everyday.
