Free Music Notes for Sometime Tuesday Morning

Free Music Review: "An auspicious debut-Johnny A. has arrived!"
Hit: 5 Stars

After many years as a sideman, Johnny A. struck out on his own. The guitar style he'd been developing since the late 1960's, came together in this, his first cd.

"Sometime Tuesday Morning" opens the album with a moody, yet melodic feel, and extensive use of the vibrato bar. The solo section features an over-driven sound and judicious use of a wah-wah pedal. An ascending chord run leads to a smooth minor/major 7th finish.

"Oh Yeah" is a classic shuffle that is a real toe tapper, and despite what your ears tell you, only one lead guitar playing. A classic bluesy shuffle set the groove for Johnny's "call & response" melody. As the song progresses, the solo sections are a crunchy blues/rock tone, followed by a fully saturated rock section. One of Johnny's best.

Glen Campbell's "Wichita Lineman" is a haunting ballad arrangement by Johnny, featuring lots of gorgeous chord-melody.

"Two Wheel Horse" is Johnny's ode to motorcycles. A blues/rock stomp that alternates from clean to crunchy throughout, and goes all-out at the end.

"In the Wind" has the sort of Brazilian salsa groove you'd normally find on a Lee Ritenour album, but Johnny once again proves he's up to any challenge. A highlight.

"Yes It Is" is a rare Beatles B-side that Johnny makes his own, by his extensive use of hybrid-style picking and chord melody. Sweet.

"Up in the Attic" is the cd's finest moment, as all Johnny's influences in jazz and country come into play here. A jazz figure in the style of Hank Garland or Howard Roberts opens the piece, and country licks varying from Chet Atkins to Albert Lee run the length of this pot-boiler. Johnny puts on a clinic in country jazz.

"Walk, Don't Run" is given a tango style treatment, much different from the versions most people have heard.

"Tex Critter" is Chet Atkins, Les Paul & James Burton all wrapped up in a neat package.

"Lullaby For Nicole" has a sort of "film noir" quality about it, as though you were walking down an unlit city street in an old black and white detective movie.

"Walkin on West Avenue" finishes the cd with another dance groove.

Johnny A. Came out swinging on his first cd, and hit a home run. 5 stars.

Sometime Tuesday Morning Poster

A veteran of long years on the Boston club scene and a stint as sideman to former J. Geils Band frontman Peter Wolf, guitarist Johnny A. originally self-released this masterful, tasteful solo record to much local acclaim, and then guitar ace Steve Vai added the musician to the roster of his label. Proving that the term "guitar god" has too often been misapplied in the post-Van Halen era of diddly-squeak school of soloing, Johnny A. draws on a more classic pantheon of American fret deity for inspiration, including Chet Atkins, Scotty Moore, James Burton, Nokie Edwards, and Wes Montgomery. And like the late Danny Gatton (whom the musician's fiery solos recall), Johnny's years as a sideman have taught him the importance of space and dynamics. The smoky, moody title track sets the tone. While his choice of covers (the Beatles' "Yes It Is," Jimmy Webb's "Wichita Lineman," and the Ventures' signature "Walk, Don't Run") underscore his restraint, the guitarist proves his overdrive can burn with the best of them on "Two Wheel Horse," "In the Wind," and the rockabilly kicker "Up in the Attic." --Jerry McCulley
