Happened onto his show at the 2010 Chicago Blues Festival last weekend. Almost walked on by, but first riff on his guitar and we were captured. Had the crowd dancing and in his hands within minutes. Great musician!
I have JR many times, the 1st in a club with 25 people in the audience. The 2nd at Chicago Blues Fest in front of 20,000. JR has style and is a geniune good guy! I love Blues music,and Johnny Rawls is one of my favorites. Come on back to Skip's Johnny! We love you!
Johnny Rawls is a national treasure: a great singer/guitarist who is also a fantastic composer and arranger. Not the same tired standards, nor fancy guitar ego-trips, just superb compositions and performances. This is the very real today's Blues with a marvelous touch of Soul.
Just try "Put Your Trust In Me" (with Eddie Kirkland and Phil Guy), i. e., and be ready for some of the best black music around!
Great music!
