Preaching the blues
I discovered Jimmy Johnson one day in the mid-1990s in a blues and jazz second-hand CD shop in the Latin Quarter of Paris. My eye got attracted by the cover where Johnson is holding a big axe (I smiled at the symbol : axe is a slang word for guitar) and by the album's title, "Johnson's Whacks", so I bought it, just knowing it was electric blues but ignoring it was one of the best recordings of this Johnson. A perfect introduction. From then on, I always liked him. I later got some of his previous and following albums and was never disappointed even if like many of his fellow bluesmen, he had his downs too. This 2019 album is certainly not gonna make me change my mind.
