Free Music Notes for Rediscovering Lonnie Johnson
Free Music Review: The heart without the soul
Hit: 2 Stars
I was happy to hear that a group of performers were creating a tribute to Lonnie Johnson, but I'm afraid the end result was a disappointment. If it sparks interest in Lonnie's life, music, and significant contribution to jazz and blues, the CD will have served him well. The performances are obviously well intentioned, but Geoff Muldaur only handles one vocal--he should have had them all. Singer Eddie Davis is painful to listen to, but guitarist Jef Lee Johnson is not. I wish I could embrace this release wholeheartedly, but there is plenty of the real thing available, from the classic sides of the 1920s, 30s and 40s to the post "rediscovery" recordings.
Rediscovering Lonnie Johnson Poster
As one of the original pioneers of blues music, Lonnie Johnson is credited by serious historians as being the first person to record a single note guitar solo. Rediscovering Lonnie Johnson presents listeners with modern interpretations of blues classics such as "He's A Jelly Roll Baker" and "St. Louis Blues" while paying homage to the accomplishments of this prolific musician. Featured artists on the album include Blues Anatomy, Jef Lee Johnson, Geoff Muldaur and other phenomenal blues players."There was a guy who played blues long before we had electricity...named Lonnie Johnson. Lonnie Johnson was like Duke Ellington was with jazz. He played with everybody...So I grew up wanting to be Lonnie Johnson."
-B.B. King (Downbeat Magazine - Feb, 2006)
