ounding like a young Duane Allman, guitarist Johnny Roth cooks up a powerful mix of
instrumental blues-rock and rootsy jazz on his self-produced 2003 seven track CD.
Making good use of his '56 Les Paul, his Baker B1C and Takamine acoustic guitars,
Roth rips through some impressive fretboard techniques on Still Not Talkin'. In
addition to playing the electric and acoustic guitars, Roth also skillfully performs
the backing tracks. Clearly, Roth has the chops and songwriting gifts to become a
rising force in his own right.
