Our Take

Move over One Direction, there’s a new loner in town. Lonnie Johnson’s The Lonnie Johnson Collection 1925-1952 is a classic compilation of blues and jazz tunes that will have you swaying in your seat like you’re at a 1920s speakeasy.

Johnson’s smooth vocals and soulful guitar skills take centre stage in this collection, transporting you back in time to a smoky club where the music is as smooth as the whiskey. From the melancholic "Playing with the Strings" to the upbeat "I Don’t Know", Johnson’s range and talent shine through in every track.

But it’s not just Johnson’s musical skills that make this collection a must-listen. The lyrical depth and emotional honesty in his songs will resonate with anyone who has ever felt the sting of heartbreak or the joy of love.

While some may dismiss The Lonnie Johnson Collection as old-fashioned, they would be missing out on a true gem of music history. Johnson’s influence on the blues and jazz genre is undeniable, and this collection is a testament to his enduring legacy.

So grab a glass of bourbon, dim the lights, and let Lonnie Johnson serenade you with his timeless tunes. You won’t regret it.
