Details:
THE MOJO SESSIONS is Sleepy Guitar Johnson’s third CD and first on the POWERED BY MOJO Label. Produced and mixed by Denis Degher – crank it loud – this disk sounds big and warm like vintage vinyl. Recorded winter of 2007-2008 on California’s rugged Central coast: the CD pays homage to the progenitors of Blues and Rock, but is boldly branded by Sleepy’s innovative 21st Century Blues sound.
At once melodic and danceable, you’ll find yourself humming these memorable tales of love and life as Sleepy wraps his Gibson electric and Dobro slide around his insinuating vocals. And Carl Byron’s stellar roadhouse piano and organ keeps you moving down the blues highway: from New Orleans to Chicago to California out West as he channels Johnnie Johnson, Otis Spann and Fats Domino. John “Cool Hand” Morris carries the bottom-end-thump on Fender Bass as he marries his propulsive sound to Michael Brown''s locked down drums. Musical guests include: Larry Taylor - Bass, Richard Innes - Drums, April Hendrix - Vocal Duet & Amanda Rice - Backing Vocals.
Guitar World Magazine online had this to say, “You never know how and when you are going to discover a great new talent. Sleepy’s music is clearly blues inspired and is, in fact drenched with the down home stuff, yet it is completely original, avoiding virtually all of the cliches we have come to associate with the music. The guitarist alternates between playing Dobro and yanking the bar of his guitar, resulting in a unique blend of Surf, Rock, and Blues sound.”
Grab your favorite libation and crank it up – you won’t be disappointed.
