Room with a view of the blues
Beskrivning:Sångaren Johnny Adams föddes i New Orleans och inledde sin karriär som gospelsångare, innan han gick vidare till blues, R&B och soul. Här backas han upp av ett kanonband med Dr John på keyboards, gitarristerna Walter "Wolfman" Washington och Duke Robillard, tenorsaxofonisten Alvin "Red" Tyler m fl. Baksidestexten skriven av John Mortland.
"Although calling Johnny Adams a blues singer is far too confining, he's certainly among the finest to perform in that idiom. He's equally brilliant at slow or uptempo numbers, can effectively convey irony, heartache, or triumph, and is a masterful storyteller. These... blues numbers cover every emotional base, allowing Adams a chance to show his proficiency. With great support from an instrumental corps that includes guitarists Walter "Wolfman" Washington and Duke Robillard, keyboardist Dr. John, and saxophonists Red Tyler and Foots Samuel, plus Ernie Gautreau on valve trombone, Adams didn't just cut a blues album, he made unforgettable blues statements."
