Jimmy Johnson
Chicago guitarist Jimmy Johnson didn't release his first full domestic album until he was 50 years old. He's determinedly made up for lost time ever since, establishing himself as one of the Windy City's premier blues artists with a twisting, unpredictable guitar style and a soaring, soul-dripping vocal delivery that stand out from the pack. Born into a musical family (younger brother Syl Johnson's credentials as a soul star are all in order, while sibling Mack Thompson was Magic Sam's first-call bassist)

Eye in the Sky
This is the first song I started recording early in the COVID crisis. I was idly thumb-mute plucking a B in a steady 8th note pattern, and realized that was the intro to "Eye in the Sky," a song I've always liked by Alan Parsons Project. I ended up recording all the essential tracks on bass, with various EQs and effects to emulate different instruments. Matt and Miles Clowminzer added lead guitar and drums, respectively, and Michael Leroy Peed added some synth pads to tie it all together. Last but not least, I somehow managed to recruit my son Harley to add a little vocal magic near the end. Hope you enjoy it!more
