Free Music Notes for Sometime Tuesday MorningFree Music Review: Refreshing - Just Guitar! Hit: 4 Stars
The only reason I didn't give this CD 5 stars is because there were a couple remakes of old songs I never liked to begin with - but, that's just me. With that exception, I'll say BUY IT. This CD is refreshing because it's just fabulous guitar music. No lyrics to spoil the pureness of exquisite picking. Johnny A. transitions from blues to jazz to country (even some slide in there) flawlessly. Here's a CD you'll listen to over and over and hum the tunes when you're not listening to it.
Free Music Review: Saw Johnny A. live in Boston and this isn't it. Hit: 4 Stars
Saw Johnny A. in Boston at the House of Blues (never heard of him) and his trio blew me away. Drums and bass were right on and the sound man had it perfect. All instrumental until the end of first set when Peter Wolf was invited on (who was nothing but great to see and hear). Then Johnny's fine looking wife came on to help with vocals. I bought the CD right there. The CD doesn't capture the live performance however. Sorry Johnny, but how about a live CD next?
Free Music Review: Fantastic Technique Hit: 4 Stars
Saw and heard him open for Peter Frampton at the Wiltern. Left so impressed that I just had to get this album. Terrific stuff. Great dexterity.
Free Music Review: buy scotty anderson's cd on J curve first... Hit: 2 Stars
then you will realize, that sometimes the substance, doesnt live up to the hype..nothing against Johnny A., good guitarist actually, but, if you want to hear the real deal of this style..then spend your money of scotty anderson, who has been praised by musicians and guitar critics world wide.....or just buy his HOT LICKS video, and find out for yourself..sorry johnny, but scotty is miles ahead of this race...i was really let down with this recording.
Free Music Review: This guy is awesome! Hit: 1 Stars
This CD is worth it just for the song "Yes it is" (an instrumental cover of a great Beatles' song). It took me about 3 listens to realize that most of Johnny A's songs only feature a guitar, bass, and drums yet they sound so complex. There's nobody else like him.
