I am delighted to introduce you the new Johnny Max Band work Johnny is a passionate powerful singer who refuses to be only labeled as a blues artist In fact, Johnny Max explores different musical ways, always rich in nuances, performing a wide range of roots popular music, giving his particular stamp but always with absolute conviction and a vigorous firm elegant taste Johnny also has a special sensitivity he shows along the twelve songs included, with gumbos, New Orleans rhythm and blues, southern soul and rock, all spiced with a touch of boogie and groove, in the path of Tom Waits’ music The backing band sounds relaxed and well teamed, with John Findlay guitars, Vince Maccarone drums, Jesse O’Brien piano and keyboards and Wayne Deadder, bass and guitar A great horn section gives a different flavour to the album to make it sound well crafted, cool and vitalistic
