Free Music Review: Great CD!!! Don't believe the negativity!
Hit: 5 Stars

There is nothing wrong with this disc. 8 of the 14 tracks became favorites of mine from the very first time I played it through. I don't get the bad reviews. Because this can't be called a Blues album, it's not good or worthy of even purchasing?! If you buy Blues ONLY, that might be reason enough to not buy it, but not for nothing, there are other good genres out here. It doesn't sound like 80's rock, Michael Bolton or Boy Band music. Only someone with their head up the ass of Blues would even think so. This man has madd talent, an absolutely amazing voice and delivery that evokes so many emotions. It's like he's been here before.

Personally I think Jonny only got into the Blues genre first because the person that taught him to play guitar was a Blues artist. He says at his site that he's not a Blues artist exclusively and that he is very proud of this project. He feels it is his best work to date and I agree, and that isn't to take anything at all from his previous works. The tracks are solid performances, but my personal favorites are "Give me up again," "Red Light," "Touch," Beautiful One," "Goodbye Letter," "Save Yourself," "Happiness & Misery," and "Hide Your Love." In my estimations, this CD is a fusion of Blues, Rock, & R&B. You can tell that Blues is a part of him in some of the short but very good guitar solos in the tracks. In this release he has found a perfect hybrid blend that suits him really well.

Don't believe the negative reviews. His Blues following are pissed that they didn't get another Blues project. My advice to them is to continue to listen to those earlier works. They will aways be around and they will always be good. Maybe one day he'll do another cd exclusively in that genre, but to compare him to other Blues artists and say that this project is a flop just because it's not Blues is stupid, mean and oh so petty. He's 22 years old!!! I think he should go wherever his creativity takes him, but in the meantime, DO NOT SLEEP on this cd. It is worth every dime.
