T.K. Webb belongs to that small but growing tribe of young artists who channel sorely missed genre pioneers so effectively and with such unswerving solidarity it's almost spooky. Like Joss Stone, Jonny Lang, and Kieran McGee, Webb, who was born Thomas Kelly Webb in 1977 in rural Missouri, doesn't have much use for what sounds current. Though he lives in Brooklyn and recorded his 2005 full-length album -- KCK, short for Kansas City, KS -- there, the Delta blues are Webb's calling card, and he sings, stomps, and bats them out so convincingly a listener half-suspects he sat on Robert Johnson's grave as he learned to play guitar.
