Johnny Charles
Roadmaster
Winner of the 1995 W.C. Handy Award for blues
guitarist in the NYC Metro area, New Jersey’s guitarist extraordinaire
teams up with the Danny Gatton Band rhythm section and other special
guests for an impressive collection of originals.
”You're about to experience a fine-tuned collection of twelve original
compositions by a New Jersey blues guitarist extraordinaire, Johnny
Charles. Johnny’s guitar combined with the rhythm section of guitar
great Danny Gatton makes this CD cruise at all speeds and through
all the different blues grooves from the 1950’s to contemporary
sounds. Johnny’s guitar playing is fluid and always tasteful. Check
out the fast paced Rockabilly Blues of the title cut Roadmaster...the
razor sharp guitar attack on Blue Heat...the Blues Rumba Lose My
Mind.... the Texas styled Upside Down...the funky In the Groove...or
the cool Jazz/Blues Instrumental Park Avenue Swing. The Blues landscape
is crowded with loads of pretenders - believe me, Johnny Charles
is the real deal!” - Scott Acton/Blue Sunday WNTI-FM 91.9, Hackettstown,
NJ.
”Charles is like a gourmet chef at an all-night blues diner, serving
up every imaginable blues treat.” - Jim Mertz, Music Editor, Lehigh
