Music reviews of Can I Get an Amen

Music Review: Biting blues guitar like only Johnny Jones can
Rating: 5 Stars

"Can I Get an Amen" is a live performance, and a superb one at that. Many people unfortunately don't know of Johnny Jones, yet he doesn't deserve to be missed by any blues lover! Johnny renders completely original, exuberant covers to dusty, tired ole blues standards and makes you want to hang on to every note. He has a beautiful singing voice and a constantly wry smile on his face, always playful and wicked with his lyrics and the style of singing. Whether he would dish out striking verses matter-of-factly or wax a love ballad, it's all soul and all in his very own inimitable style.

This live performance is especially rousing. I always wonder how the man, who is probably over 70 now and has been on the road for most of his life, can still be so excited about performing and does it with so much energy and heart! The recording quality is excellent, and you can hear Johnny's biting guitar solos in full glory. His guitar tone is absolutely original and immediately recognizable from the crowd of blues slingers. He weaves very interesting, thoughtful melodies in his solos. Without shredding needlessly on guitar or getting too much into rock, he makes his solos heard, loud and clear, where every note bites your ear, and every note matters. His solos are not so much "phrase" by "phrase" as they are "word" by "word" - note by note without tricks, chorus, or smears. As organic as it gets.

"Can I Get an Amen" is a great find, and I am happy to have been given this as a gift. I already own Johnny's "Blues In the House", which is out of print but a super blues record with plenty of fun, sly songs there.
