JR JOHNNY 'THE DRIFTER'
A Tribute To Sonny Boy
|
"Cd title says it all. Jr. wants to pay tribute to one of his great masters, but he has not done a simple version copy...his tribute is more focussed on the emotional feelings and a pesonal new conception. As usual, Johnny plays with a very suggestive intimistic fluent style and again surprises theaudience with his effective, perfectly built piece of work as he normally does. Johnny follows on an ascending line and he is gradually maturing, not only as a harp player and song writer but especially as a singer ~ and I must confess the more I listen to him the more I enjoy him. All songs included on the CD are very personal compositions that he performs with an original, honest, and very sincere distinctive mark... which makes him different from other musicians, and which has made him reach high recognition in the New York Blue's scene. Jr. Johnny shows himself as a real passionate blue's musician who really enjoys himself with his music...and makes other people enjoy and love it too... which, finally, is the only important thing. VERY GOOD !" |

"Johnny, i am really impressed with your new cd. "The Drifter". I put the cd into my player and i was blown away! Your harp playing is very powerful! I love the big fat tone of your harp. It brings to mind all the masters of the 1950s. Both Little and Big Walters, Snooky Pryer etc. The whole cd. is great! It's low down and dirty, raw and powerful without studio tricks and fancy arrangments. Straight from the heart! Johnny it would be a pleasure to persent your music in my shows and direct my listeners to your website. Thankyou one more time for the beautiful music you've sent me. Let's stay in touch." |
