Album Review
Mississippi bluesman Johnson comes North to play in Chicago and the results are indeed satisfying. Taken from two different shows at two different venues (Hothouse and Buddy Guy's Legends) over a period of two years ('94 and '95), Johnson is ably backed by Aaron Burton's band with Lester "Mad Dog" Davenport contributing some nice harp on the set from the Legends show. Johnson keeps the set lists jumping, from straight-ahead blues ("Sweet Sixteen," "Black Rooster," "Fightin' Woman," Z.Z. Hill's "The Blues Is Alright") to Mississippi-juke-joint dance numbers (Hank Ballard's "The Twist," "Night Train") and even the stray 'hillbilly blues' number like "Pistol Packin' Mama" and Ivory Joe Hunter's "Since I Met You Baby." Sound is dodgy in spots, but Johnson's palpable energy comes through just fine.
Customer Reviews
THE REAL DEAL
I saw Big Jack Johnson play live in New York City years ago (Terra Blues, best little club in NYC and most affordable) and he blew the roof off the joint. I was happy to see him listed as playing on the soundtrack of Craig Brewer's film "Black Snake Moan" with Samuel L. Jackson. It makes sense, since Johnson is a pure Southern Blues Man. The real deal.
