Hit: 4 Stars
Every once in a while, an authentic guitar hero rises up from the miasma of pedestrian players that saturate live music circuits across America. In recent times, there have been some shining stars: Stevie Ray and Jimmie Vaughan, Danny Gatton, Eric Johnson, Brian Setzer, and Junior Brown. The guitar hero's appeal stretches across many layers of the spectrum.With the release of 'Sometime Tuesday Morning,' we can now include Boston's Johnny A. in this exclusive club. This album will attract both enthusiasts who struck gold with Gatton's '88 Elmira Street' and casual listeners who enjoyed the most popular works of Johnson and Setzer.
But classifying Johnny A. as just a blues player would be uncharitable, and comparing him to other guitarists is a futile, apples-and-oranges exercise. So let's talk about why Johnny A. is unique.
First, there is his attention to tone and phrasing. Johnny strikes the right balance between pure and mellow and rough and raunchy. No overkill here. He can be bluesy without sounding gutbucket, rockabilly without sounding retro, contemporary without sounding atonal, and country without sounding hillbilly. Make any sense? Purchase the disc and it will.
Johnny A. tells an original story with each composition. He doesn't play notes for their own sake; melodies fit as snugly as pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Johnny seems to understand something that all great musicians know: sometimes one note speaks louder than ten. While the song 'Oh Yeah' is a toe-tapping, turn-up-the-volume classic, overall this disc falls somewhere between Marvin Gaye and Wes Montgomery in the third date, bring the girl back to the apartment mix. In fact, the songs on 'Sometime Tuesday Morning' are so recognizable it seems certain that they will be used for film soundtracks and television commercials. All the more reason to pick this disc up while it's still new and fresh.
