JOHNNY 'Guitar' BLOMMER
(1CD)
REVIEW
Co-founder of Bad News Blues Band, Johnny's playing is powerful and
passionate without being overblown. The rich rhythmic phrasing that is his
trademark subtly discloses his early training on drums. Dismissing the
boundaries of the fret board, he explores and finds exactly the note he
wants. He plays from the heart, giving soulful nods to blues guitar
legends Freddy King, Buddy Guy and Albert Collins.
Johnny authors many of the Bad News Blues Band's popular tunes and his
lead vocals set a strong foundation for much of their four-part
harmony.
