Description
It has been said that the blues is the aquifer that feeds all the tributaries of American music. By presenting blues music in a straight, naturalistic way, John Long demonstrates this concept with crystalline clarity. Elements of gospel, country, folk balladry and even sounds reminiscent of the singing cowboy traditions of the west come shining through his music. The irony is by not making concessions towards the marketplace of mediocrity, by not watering down his blues with artificial additives or sweeteners, by simply standing his ground, John Long has created music that has something for just about anybody. It is authoritative music that will endure the test of time.
