Customer Reviews

Thrill On the Hill
     

When I first saw Johnny Nicholas performing with Steady Rollin' Bob Margolin and Mookie Brill at the 2003 Arkansas Blues and Heritage Festival (formerly King Biscuit) in Helena, Arkansas (across the mighty river from Clarksdale and the infamous Crossroads), I was hooked. It took while get ahold of this album, until I finally found it at iTunes. The opening song, Kind Hearted Woman, has been done by many others, but this version with harmonica is as soulful as the original. Other faves include the rockin Sleeping With the Devil ("she sleeps with an ice pick in her hand and fights all in her dreams…"), the acapella gospel version of John the Relelator, the manic picking on Mandolin Boogie, and Johnny's crooning vocals on Tomorrow Night. There's not a bad tune in the bunch. I see iTunes now carrys a couple of other Johnny Nicholas albums. I'm off to download them all! Enjoy.
