Our Take

LONNIE JOHNSON's latest offering, "Blues & Ballads," is like taking a musical journey through the heart and soul of the blues. With his smooth guitar playing and soulful vocals, Johnson captivates listeners from the first track to the last.

The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Another Night to Cry," setting the tone for what's to come. Johnson's emotive delivery on tracks like "Tomorrow Night" and "Have to Change Key to Open These Doors" will have you feeling all the feels.

But it's not all sombre ballads on this record. Johnson also showcases his playful side on tracks like "Woke Up with the Blues in My Fingers," a toe-tapping, feel-good tune that will have you dancing around your living room.

The limited edition of this album includes two bonus tracks that are absolute gems. "Blues for Maureen" and "Lonnie's Dream" are both standout additions that showcase Johnson's versatility as a musician.

Overall, "Blues & Ballads" is a must-listen for any fan of the blues. Lonnie Johnson's timeless sound and heartfelt lyrics make this album a true masterpiece. So grab a glass of whiskey, sit back, and let Lonnie Johnson serenade you into the night. Cheers to a true legend of the blues.
