Jimmy Johnson: "I'm A Jockey"

"Chicago guitarist Jimmy Johnson didn't release his first full domestic album until he was 50 years old. He's determinedly made up for lost time ever since, establishing himself as one of the Windy City's premier blues artists with a twisting, unpredictable guitar style and a soaring, soul-dripping vocal delivery that stand out from the pack."

Efter svår bilolycka 1988 kom så småningom albumet "Im A Jockey": “It shouldn't have taken Johnson a full decade to find his way back into a studio, but such are the injustices of the record business. The wait was worth it, though -- backed by his touring trio of the timeframe, Johnson mixes blues and soul, originals (a heartfelt "Black & White Wall" and the soaring ballad "My Ring") and covers (his takes on McKinley Mitchell's "End of a Rainbow" and Wilson Pickett's "Engine Number 9" hit home), in decidedly solid contemporary form.

Kid Andersen: "The Dreamer"
"Hi everybody, I'm Chris "Kid" Andersen, known for playing lead guitar in Charlie Musselwhite's band and for other blues luminaries and I also have my own, charmingly obscure solocarreer." "As of May 2008, I am now officially the guitar player with Rick Estrin and the NIghtcats, filling the shoes of the legendary Little Charlie Baty. Good thing I'm a size 14."

"I'm done with the new record "The Dreamer", out in Norway on Blue Mood/Grappa December 3rd, followed by a Norwegian Tour. It turned out to be everything i promised and more, with guest spots by Charlie Musselwhite, Rick Estrin, Terry Hanck and others. It is guaranteed to blow your mind!!!!"
