Out of Brinkley Arkansas, not far from The King Biscuit Blues Festival, comes songwriter/performer John Weston. Weston came late to the blues after amassing more than half a century of life experience and brings his world-wise message to every song he pens and performs. A one man band, playing harp, guitar and bass drum simultaneously and providing his own vocals, Weston brings along his drummer of choice since 1989, Carla Robinson and has Fedora cohort Dave Riley sit in on bass.
With the exception of Big Bill Broonzy's "Key to the Highway" the release features all Weston originals notable for their raw power and hard drive. Weston's music is unvarnished and from the heart. It romps and stomps and tells a little story about its creator. What more do you want from the blues? If you haven't made the acquaintance of John Weston yet, don't miss this opportunity, which he himself says is his best record.
