Burlington's Jerry Johnson Impresses With 'Listen to That Howlin' Wind'


No one can make a guitar sing like Burlington axe-slinger Jerry Johnson.  His newest CD, Listen to That Howlin' Wind shows him at his best.  Whether it's loud, hard rockin' numbers or slow, elegant tunes, Jerry proves he's a talented, creative pro!

His vocals punctuate songs wonderfully.  There are also quite a few impressive instrumentals that showcase different facets of his skill.  The man can handle, funk, soul and catchy rhythms.

Jerry's backed up by the legendary Steve Negus of Saga on drums and Garvey Crescent on bass.  They add amazing flourishes to these incredible tracks.

If you'd like a copy of this masterful CD, go to one of his incendiary live shows or drop him an email.

New James Anthony CD: Some People Get It

http://www.jamesanthony.ca/
Underneath the wonderfully retro cover of Burlington Bluesman James Anthony's latest CD, Some People Get It lies a great, vintage-style album.  Recorded analog to digital, it will take you back and rock you at the same time.

There's the classic boogie woogie of Who's Doing Who, to bop of Rockabilly Walk, the soulful tenderness of If You Love Me, the jazzy Date with the Blues and the acoustic stylings of Travelling in my Mind.  James and his co-horts do them all with class.

The veteran musician enlisted a great collection  of talented artists such as Les Smith (Trickbag), Bucky Berger, James Rasmussen, Bill Speer, Mike Doyle, Hailee Rose, Dan Munro and Bizzaro Donini.

You can pick up the CD at any of James's wonderful live shows.
