What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



This is probably the guy that turned me onto blues. Not that I didn't appreciate the art, just that before him I thought of it as a boat I had missed with nothing new to offer. Then I picked up Johnny's second album, Progressive Blues Experiment. It blew me away. This is his first, which is almost as good. Johnny just took it to another level. Not traditional blues as the purists would point out, although he could certainly do that. Rock 'n Blues I would call it. He could make that axe talk. Just watch track #2. Also an excellent live clip with Dr. John on #4. Never did get to ask Beach how he felt about Johnny. Sure hope he appreciated him as much as me. Johnny would never make it to the mainstream. To his credit I'm sure.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - When You Got A Good Friend

Best Track - I'm Yours And I'm Hers

I'm yours and I'm hers
You know I'm yours and I'm hers
Somebody else's too, oh yeah
You know I'm yours and I'm hers
Somebody else's too

You know I'm two-times seven mamas, ah
Do just what I wanna do
Let me, baby, let me squeeze her
Well man, I'm lost uptown
Let me, let me squeeze her

Well man, I'm lost uptown
(I wanna squeeze my baby)
'Cause you know I'm a stranger
I wanna know what's going down
Want to take you with me

Want you-all to understand
Ah, this mama, gonna tell ya, mama
Want you-all to understand
You know I can love you, mama
Better than your steady man
