John Schooley shows whatever the White Stripes can do with two people, he is well capable of matching on his own (he plays guitar, harmonica, kick, snare, hi-hat, cymbols, washboard, shakers, tambourine and screams his head off all live and at the same time), as he bangs his way through chaotic and fractious tracks. I don’t think the Blues can get anymore stripped back, this is as bear arsed naked the genre is going to get and it’s a fairly matchless listening experience - equally scary as it is riveting. I must admit to an addiction to sixth track ‘Drive You Faster’ who’s insistent beat has given me whiplash! Trip to therapy and the GP for me; all the best trips have that element of danger though don’t they? ~ Darren Howells

John Schooley's a travelin' man. On the cover of his second LP for Swiss garage label Voodoo Rhythm, we find the local one-man band wielding a machete, guitar safely at his shoulder, collaged next to the Eiffel Tower and the pyramids. No, Schooley hasn't gone world music; we still get his bluesy stomp and slide, at a marathon 14 songs. With a guitar, harmonica, and kick drum, he unfolds tales of his beloved South via a few choice covers (namely a cello-laden stroll through the late Lee Hazlewood's "My Baby Cried All Night Long"), a killer instrumental (the rockabilly romp "Hudcore"), and even a little electro-dalliance ("One Man Against the World Part II"). And at the end of the World , Schooley's true to his roots, whether blasting through the Oblivians thump of "Every Day Can Get You Down" or the holler of "The Crooked Path." Roll on. ~ Audra Schroder
