Music reviews of Original Guitar Wizard

Music Review: Lonnie Johnson....a BADMAN...and BAD IS GOOD!
Rating: 5 Stars

Lonnie Johnson was a musical master.
His guitar style is so clean and rythmic it is a standard that many try to reach, but few do reach it.
If you have never heard Lonnie Johnson, you are are missing a large piece of the "musical pie".
Lonnie Johnson covers sooooooo many bases, he has been, in my opinon over looked at times. Example...the blues, if you know/like/play or listen to the blues, Robert Johnson, Sonny Boy Williamson (I & II), Charlie Patton and Son House are names you know well. Lonnie Johnson fit right in with them. But Lonnie Johnson was more....much more.
Another example....jazz, do the name Louis Armstrong or Duke Ellington ring a bell? Both GIANTS of jazz, Lonnie fits right in, he played with both of them. But he played more than jazz.
Lonnie Johnson maybe the best and maybe the first "crossover" musician. Can you picture Son House of Charlie Patten playing with Duke!

If you are into guitar playing, names like Robert Johnson, Robert Jr. Lockwood, Chet Atkins, T-Bone Walker & Gatemouth Brown...all MONSTERS on the guitar. Lonnie fits right in.

Enough about why you should give Lonnie Johnson a listen, now about this 4 disc set.
Nice package. Nice cover art.
4 disc set in chronological order (for the most part).
This set may not please the "audiophile" because a few of the early tracks were somewhat poorly recorded, it was the 1920's....I mean, come on!
The early tracks can only be cleaned up so much before they lose the integrity of the music.
Each of the 4 disc set has is own cover.
Each disc has a nice cover shot of Lonnie.
Each disc has complete track listings.
The set has a 40+ page booklet w/facts, photos and more. VERY NICE!
While this may have more in it then the first time Lonnie Johnson listener may find necessary (95 tracks), the LOW cost and the excellent packaging make this a "no brainer".
If you are already a Lonnie Johnson fan, this is still a "no brainer".
It has some tracks you have on some of his other cd's, but you get the whole package with excellent graphic and packaging.
If you want to hear a true master of music, blues, jazz, standars etc.
If you want to hear a true master of the guitar and a gifted singer (I love his vibrato!). You should try this box set and find out what you have been missing.

This box set is an A+.
