Johnny A.
"Sometime Tuesday Morning"
|
Fusing blues, rock, pop and jazz, Johnny A.'s "Sometime Tuesday Morning" has already been a big indie success, selling thousands of copies and earning a nomination for Best Debut Album in the Boston Music Awards. Described in the press as "an ethereal wonder...a must-have guitar album," Johnny and his trio present a mix of original material and unusual covers. There's slithery rhythm and shadowy attitude all over these tracks, enough to summon images of late-night bars, moonlight along a waterfront, mysterious candlelit encounters - all without so much as a peep from any vocalist. Johnny's guitar does the 'vocals' on "Sometime Tuesday Morning". His tone - deep and dark, or slick and silvery - is all his own; like all of the greats, he can reveal himself with just one note. Though he's got chops to burn at thrash tempos, Johnny prefers finding the perfect bend, or pulling a shimmering vibrato from his Bigsby, or stacking the most expressive possible chord.
