Excellent, wonderful and passionate are three adjectives that could perfectly define this cd. Johnny Nicholas develops all his strength, quality and huge sensitivity in every blues he performs, from “Froggy Bottom” that opens the cd to “Down In The Alley”, that closes it, with the skill, magic and ‘savoir faire’ only a few ‘chosen ones’ who have been ‘touched’ by blues can do. Nicholas sings and plays guitar and piano on his usual style with an outstanding good taste. The repertoire is perfect and all the musicians included on this recording shine at a very high level, from Marcia Ball to Greg Piccolo or Mark ‘Kaz’ Kazanof to mention only three well known great artists. It is an elegant honest cool record but, over all, delicious and lovely.
