__________________________________________________

I dig music…all kinds of music: jazz, blues, pop, classical; the style doesn’t matter if it’s something that involves me.  That’s why, when I was asked to write a few lines for this new album, I jumped at the chance.

Blues are something special for me; they get to the live heart of people – their hurts and happiness, problems and joys, desires and fulfillments.  Isn’t this what life is all about?

When Johnny Rivers sings, he gets to the heart of the music.  He sings from the soul, capturing not only the meaning of the lyric but the complimentary value of the melody.  For me, Johnny is the most exciting and creative young talent since the days of the great Leadbelly.

Many times I’ve enjoyed dancing to Johnny’s music at the Whisky à Go Go.  But Johnny’s talents are equally deserving of a listening audience, and for that reason I’m happy to be able to add this album to my collection at home.

Johnny Rivers is no fad.  He’s an artist, one who will survive and continue to grow long after many another has been forgotten.
