LONNIE JOHNSON
vocals & guitar
with HAL SINGER tenor sax, CLAUDE HOPKINS piano,
WENDELL MARSHALL bass, BOBBY DONALDSON drums
A hugely influential and original blues musician in the early 1900s, often crossing over into jazz.
Blues guitar simply would not have developed in the manner that it did
if not for the prolific brilliance of Lonnie Johnson. He was there to help
define the instrument's future within the genre and the genre's future
itself at the very beginning, his melodic conception so far advanced from
most of his prewar peers as to inhabit a plane all his own. For more than
40 years, Johnson played blues, jazz, and ballads his way; he was a true blues
originator whose influence hung heavy on a host of subsequent blues immortals

After four years off records and in obscurity, Lonnie Johnson launched his final
comeback with this release. Teamed with tenor saxophonist Hal Singer,
pianist Claude Hopkins, bassist Wendell Marshall and drummer Bobby Donaldson,
Johnson sings and plays guitar on a variety of blues, showing that the layoff
(he was working at the time as a janitor) had not hurt his abilities in the slightest....(AllMusic)
