Johnny Tucker feat. Kid Ramos & The Allstars - Can't You

It's a mystery why Johnny Tucker is no longer known. Johnny Tucker's career is quite unique, as the bluesman was born into a large sharecropper family and it was his own father who introduced him to music, bringing him the basics of a genre he is still connected to. Three quarters of a century later. Having moved to Los Angeles when he came of age, it was as a drummer that he would soon be hired by guitarist Philip Walker, but it would take Johnny Tucker another three decades to record his first personal album in which he shows an exceptionally rich voice tailored to the blues of the coast. West. Building on the resounding success of his previous work, released in 2018, "Seven Day Blues", the artist returns to blow out his seventy-five candles in the company of a group specially formed for him by his manager, Bob Auerbach, training in which he inevitably we noticed guitarist Kid Ramos, composer of all the pieces, but also Carl Sonny Leyland on piano, John Bazz on bass, Jason Lozano on drums, Bob Corritore on harmonica and Ron Dziubla on saxophones. Recorded live at Pot O'Gold Studios on the same day as Johnny Tucker's birthday, the twelve original tracks from "75 And Alive" again by HighJohn Records in partnership with Blue Heart Records, will simply lead to a kind of jam on that the west coast jumps, blues and music. Rhythm'n'blues take the lion's share, each of the musicians mindful of putting their full weight on the scale to make it lean directly towards spontaneity, feeling and, of course, quality. As an informed entertainer, Johnny Tucker pilots his war machine steadily and elegantly and is always wisely tossing out a shuffle, a slow blues or even some Chicago blues clusters or even rock'n'roll as he arrives. purposes, and with real shine on top of that. The dozen new tracks recorded are an authentic set of West Coast jumping. Johnny Tucker's "75 And Alive" album with Kid Ramos And The Allstars is the kind of thing we thirst for. The track "Can't You See" is a solid blues vocal with strong piano work by Leyland. In addition to genre styles having words like rock, soul, etc., before the word blues, having cities like Memphis, Texas, etc. in front is also quite common. "Can't You See," with Johnny growling and howling the blues while taking an occasional trip to the vocal basement; much more background coming from the rhythm section; and the typical guitar and piano cues you'd expect (though Kid and Carl are certainly not typical); the track also features Bob Corritore howling on the harp, giving a real Chicago feel and between Tuckers' whistle, Corritore's harmonica and Leyland's piano work, a great addition. Tucker dedicated the album, "75 And Alive", to his late wife, Georgia, as an enduring monument to a man who has been singing from the heart professionally for over 65 years. Georgia was in the studio on Johnny's birthday in 2020 when this album was recorded. Tucker is bravely living without his beloved wife. He still has the flute, many new songs and now the splendid "75 And Alive" - ​​all testifying to the inherent truth of his new album's title. Voices like Johnny Tucker's barely exist in today's guitar-dominated blues world. His powerful flutes testify to a lifetime proudly spent singing and living the blues in ways that are no longer possible. If Johnny is a rare commodity as an electrifying vocalist, his songwriting technique is even more unusual. "75 And Alive" captures the authentic feeling of the blues, with songs that come straight from the heart as they are felt in the moment. Despite being 75 years old, Johnny still sounds very vital vocally. His voice sounds powerful, moving and vivid. Great!!!
