The musical start of this singer and harmonica player come back from the seventies when Tanner was a teenager and he was continuously listening to the old Chess label blues vinyls, immersing himself in Little Walter, James Cotton, Walter Horton and the other harmonica players of that catalogue, trying to learn the phrasing and tone of all those masters Now that he has become a grown man, his love for traditional Chicago blues remains the same as it was then From Phoenix, Arizona, Johnny Tanner and his band keep their offer to play old blues always impregnated with the same and most pure essence of fifties Chicago blues His blues are like an extension of what was done in those years, as they gather the spirit and the most surprising vintage sound one could imagine Tanner’s singing and blowing harp, is perfectly backed by guitar players Rusty Zinn, Junior Watson and Billy Flynn, bass players Larry Taylor and Randy Bermudes, piano player Fred Kaplan and the always missed Richard Innes on drums, plus Jeff Turnes and Tom Faberge on sax This is an album with the most genuine blues and the real fifties Chess sound, performed on a precise and mastery way only the brightest and really able musicians can do it
