Johnny King is an outstanding producer, songwriter, singer and performer who feels comfortable in a variety of styles like blues, roots music, rock, reggae, bluegrass, country, Motown, gospel, funk, Latin, ragtime, New Orleans jazz or the most psychedelic southern rock. With such a remarkable background, it is not surprising all his records have a faultless production that always please wide audiences who look for good music.<\/p>\n
Johnny began playing drums in his father\u2019s band, Rod Hot Lincoln, in Virginia, but soon he became a multi-instrumentalist who now manages to play guitar, slide, bass, keyboards, mandolin and trumpet. In 1997 Johnny began his solo career leading his own bands, besides becoming a high demanded producer, which has led him to work with countless musicians who usually play in his band Johnny King & Friends, which presents a good number of different performers.<\/p>\n
For this recording Johnny has recruited about two dozen of great professionals like Tony Coleman, Bobby Rush, George Porter Jr or the horn sections of JJ Grey & Mofro, Steel Pterodactyl & The Dirty Dozen Brass Band or The Roanoke Gospel Choir among others. The result is twelve impressive songs that become a festival of blues, soul and roots music, with a magnificent orchestration and outstanding arrangements, where the chemistry, quality and professionalism of all musicians involved is beyond any doubt.<\/p>\n
A brilliant, spotless and attractive recording that places Johnny King & Friends as one of the greatest actual bands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
