BILL JOHNSON BLUES BAND
Bill Johnson began playing the guitar when he was 9 years old. Records by Hank Williams, Elvis Presley, The Rolling Stones, and Eric Clapton, were his early influences, but Bill remembers: � Chuck Berry was the one that did it for me. Chuck made me want to play guitar�. Bill became a working musician early and spent most of his teens making music. Bill Johnson has spent a lifetime immersing himself in the Blues. He�s a master of the form and live is a blast of majestic Blues power.

THE TWISTERS
�This is what modern Blues is all about. Tight arrangements, great vocal harmonies, and spot on yet understated instrumental performances. All with a firm foothold into the roots and tradition of the Blues. With one exception, a Sonny Boy Williamson tune, the CD is packed with all original tunes that bring freshness and spontaneity to the sometimes over worked playbook of the Blues. A fantastic musical statement." - Barrelhouse Blues e-news, Boston
