A very pleasant discovery here on Jamendo. My favorite song must be Shanty Blues or maybe Police Dog Blues, but they're all very well played and sung. Very roots-y, very real. Would like more music like this.

Absolutely delightful! A wonderful melange of country blues with chicken pickin' guitar and droolin' rockin'-chair voice.The album contains a bewitching insight into the ”cross-pollination”. of the blues and Appalachian Hillbilly (Jaws Harp and all)......Well, mama killed a chicken, thought it was a duck. Put him on the table with his legs stickin' up. You gotta bundle up and go, yeah. You gotta bundle up and go... (I'm Gone )!

A great honky tonk, rooty, country, blues, album. With a nice fresh air taste and smell to it. And great vibrant catchy cool sweet vocals. That just roll it all off to perfection. And will give you such a bliss filled fun time. Savoring this delight album out.

From the 1960s onward, a lot of musicians from outside the country blues or Appalachian string band traditions have learned to play the songs flawlessly, but relatively few have learned to inhabit the music as convincingly as Johnny Hoodoo does in these tracks. I suppose a good part of that has to do with his willingnessness to inject his own personality and approach -- for the most part he doesn't treat the songs as museum pieces.

As with any review, of course, I don't want to go too far in essentializing my own taste: I happen to love minimalistic, trance-inducing, and "high lonesome" styles of folk and world music, and Johnny HooDoo definitely excels at that. But if you have any interest in American roots music, do give it a listen.

I hunt for weeks, months, without finding music this real. All music, no fluff. I can't write anything that doesn't sound silly. It's, it's, it's ......... music!

The other Hoodoo album, and the two with Tali, are just as real.
