Johnny Burgin: Ramblin' From Coast To Coast (CD)

(Straight Shooter Records) 12 tracks, digisleeve

Blues guitarist, singer and BMA nominee Johnny Burgin describes his endless touring schedule in his typically modest way: “It takes me a year to see my friends, and then it starts all over again.”
He often travels without a band and discovers new and fruitful collaborations along the way.
“Ramblin' from Coast to Coast” is the result: eleven original blues from the road, recorded in Dallas, Cincinnati, Rochester (NY) and Memphis (TN) with guest appearances by artists such as John Blues Boyd, Rae Gordon, Ben Levin, Hanna PK, Jad Tariq, Jon Hay and Dylan Bishop.
Johnny draws on his years of experience with the Chicago blues idiom (as well as his popular weekly YouTube videos on blues guitar) to bring just the right amount of repartee to the musical conversation.
Johnny is also known as a strong writer; “Gettin' My Blues On” is written from the perspective of a die-hard blues fan who is just barely making ends meet financially. Judging by audience reaction, this song is well on its way to becoming the blues anthem of the year!

Rockin' Johnny

In mid-1990s Chicago, musical worlds burgeoned, collided and cohered. Young jazz players crafted their own take on different traditions. Rockers turned toward country. A few became rock stars. Through it all, blues singer/ guitarist Rockin' Johnny Burgin set his own pace. Back then, and today, a slew of disciples of this city's 12-bar traditions turned their tributes into overwrought clichés. Rockin' Johnny stood apart from all of that. He absorbed the right lesson from West and South Side mentors.

That was: economy should be a blues musician's ally. Pack a world into a few sharp notes and let the spaces sing for themselves. At the same time, Johnny stayed hungry enough to book his own groups throughout large cities and small towns, and tells that story in the song Shoe Leather And Tire Rubber. Meanwhile, he sharpened his skills when he served as a sideman for such legends as Tail Dragger, Jimmy Burns, Sam Lay, Pinetop Perkins, Billy Boy Arnold, Little Arthur Duncan and Jimmy Lee Robinson. Some outside gigs added fuel for his originality—like a memorable night at Beat Kitchen working alongside perverse R&B singer Andre Williams.

But when that decade ended, Johnny walked away from music. Johnny's early and, ultimately, brief time away from the stage echoed Wes Montgomery's decision in the early 1950s to hold factory jobs: the jazz guitarist had a a family to support, and remarked, "What I wanted to do didn't matter as much as what I had to do." A couple years ago, Johnny got back into performing and released NOW'S THE TIME in 2010.
