From New Mexico, although now living in Ontario, Canada, singer and guitar player John McKinley hardened himself as a musician in a countless variety of rock and blues clubs and juke-joints across the south of United States Now time has come he considers himself mature enough to record his first album, where he drives all the influences he has received along his life, from Freddie King to Johnny Winter, ZZ Top or even Frank Zappa, without forgetting his Mexican roots John has cleverly managed to absorb and capture all that musical background, to complete a colourful album, build up on the basis of the most actual garage rock-blues with a strong sound and guitar riffs well supported by the good work of a bunch of musicians who have fully understood what is expected of them Besides John McKinley on vocals and guitar, you will also find his son Darius McKinley on bass, Ben Rollo on drums and the special collaboration of Darryl Romphf as a second guitar A curious daring album especially devoted to palates used to eat good spicy chile con carne
