Usual Suspects".
- Jr. Johnny hails from New York City. Great blues and rock artist! Combines blues and rock for an upbeat "modern blues sound"!
...Discography...
- "Johnny's harp steals the show on tracks like the sneaky shuffle of Help Me and the Ronnie Hawkins penned, rousing house rocker My Girl Is Red Hot. The Usual Suspects
crank things up a notch. as if engaged in a musical tug of war to keep
up with Johnny's howling harp. The band sinks its teeth into the
Hookeresque boogie of I Ain't Goin' to Hell, which heats up faster than the Florida sun. Tobacco Road
lands a punch in the form of a churning rhythm courtesy of drummer
George Wilson and bassist J.T. Burley and grappling guitar work by
Stephan Minnich and Rick Fincke. When the band locks into a groove,
it's unshakable.
"Red Hot is roadhouse blues at its
chugging, bristly best. Jr. Johnny and the band are a criminally
underrated rough rocking outfit that should be tearing up blues
festivals and barbecues nationwide."
Mark Uricheck, Living Blues Magazine.
- "This new cd, recorded under his own and his backing band names, Jr. Johnny keeps on doing his own material, he cleverly combines with some covers coming from his favourite bluesmen like Sonny Boy Williamson, Willie Dixon, Big Joe Turner, Geoge ‘Papa’ Lightfoot or Tommy Tucker among others.To do this new cd, he has chosen an excellent bunch of backing musicians, such as Stephen Minnich and Rick Fincke on guitars, J.T. Burley on bass and upright bass and George Wilson on drums. Twelve interesting blues, performed with honesty and an extreme good taste, make “Red Hot” cd a more than an interesting album. VERY GOOD.
