Cheeky Blues (feat. Danny Johnson)

#52 in The Need To Know Badass Blues Instrumentals Series is, Cheeky Blues, featuring Louisiana guitar slinger, Danny Johnson. Normally I would write a glowing little blurb here but Joe LaLaina at Guitar World Magazine just did a great 4-page piece on Danny...here's the first paragraph: "He replaced Steve Vai in Alcatrazz, he was asked to replace Joe Perry in Aerosmith, he was friends with Stevie Ray Vaughan and Johnny Winter, he worked with Eddie Van Halen, and he played with artists including Rick Derringer, Alice Cooper, Rod Stewart and, most recently, Steppenwolf." -  I'm sure you'll Need To Know more: Guitar World Magazine

The backing band on this track is Rich Kirch (John Lee Hooker 1984-2001) on rhythm guitar, Willy Jordan (Elvin Bishop) on drums and myself on bass. It was recorded at Skunkworks in Capitola CA. Mixed by the Grammy winning Godfather of Grunge, Jack Endino (Nirvana, Nando Reis) and as always, masterfully mastered by Alex McCollough at True East Mastering.
