JAY JESSE JOHNSON: BLUES/ROCK GUITAR/VOCALS


Nothing is more impressive than a well hung Fender/Stratocaster, the tool of choice on men like Jay Jesse Johnson,  who pounds the hell out of his instrument. He is hard and heavy on his latest Album ‘RUN WITH THE WOLF’ his 4th studio album just out August 28, 2012.  There is nothing soft about this guy; his blues/rock is gritty and his performance is hard driving.
Johnson is not widely known as a solo act. Originally from Indiana, then later moved to the East Coast, Johnson was associated with Cryer’, ‘Arch Angel’ and Deadringer’, all hard rock bands of the 1970’s-80’s.

JJJ’s vocals are as good as any blues/rock artist out there, he sometime sounds like the soulful Greg Naggy.  Playing the guitar since the age of 6, he knows how to play his Fender/ Stratocaster with such power it makes you scream for more.

A couple of highlight tracks on the album ‘Hell Train’, ‘Run with the Wolf’, and ‘Black Eldarado’. While the album is good, it does not have a lot of depth, but is worth at least a few downloads. JJJ is a blues/rock artist, and someone to keep on the radar for future releases, and hopefully he will change it up and add a little more variety to the album tracks.
