What can I say about Jon Paris that blues fans do not already know? For about ten yeas he has been Johnny Winter’s trio bass player and occasional harp player In this cd Jon reveals himself as an excellent rock and roll, boogie-woogie and rhythm and blues singer and guitar player He gives us thirteen intense songs full of ‘hard-drivin’-rock-blues-guitar’ that will make your home foundations shake like they were a terrible tornado You will immediately notice Johnny Winter’s influences on Jon’s guitar technique, although the repertoire is quite different from the one Winter is playing now Kenny Krame at drums, Amy Madden at bass and Jon Paris at guitar, harp and vocals basically perform Jon’s own compositions but also some versions of such great musicians like John Lee Hooker, Elmore James, Brownie McGee and Hap Walker The cd was recorded and mixed in New York, the Jon’s favourite city to live and work
