DO NOT MISS THIS!!!!!!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"THIS IS THE MOST SURPRISING CD I'VE HEARD IN TWO DECADES!!! Rivers runs the gauntlet from rocker to bluesman, to lover, to hurting friend. Do not miss his tribute to his friend of thirty years - Carl Perkins - author of Blue Suede Shoes and his tribute to Elvis.



This is a must have if you like music.

Joker In The Wind, Chicago Bound, Blue Suede Blues. The whole CD is just Awesome. It's always in my player. You can listen to it all day. If we were allowed on Cd each - THIS WOULD BE MINE!

Enjoy

"This is the the surprise album of the 90's! I don't sell music but I have hooked up over 20 people on this piece of work! Fabulous music! Exquisite vocals! People want this album as soon as they hear it! Johnny has put it all to gether in a bluesy funky CD. Tributes to Elvis and Carl Perkins, blues tunes, love tunes! If you like music you can put in and never take out this is it. I own 6 of these and just bought two more because I listen to it so much!DON'T MISS THIS CD!!!!!!!!!!"

"I totally agree with Dave...bought this Cd back in 99 and it's a winner....Johnny Rivers has a ton of soul...Very good CD that will surprise you....Classify this as Memphis Blues/rock that has both upbeat and mellow tunes...."
