Bottleneck John
All Around Man
It was by sheer coincidence we found Bottleneck John in September 2012 and for that we are very, very glad! After a nice first meeting in my studio, everything was settled! We had very similar ideas how to go about the album, and Bottleneck John made a great selection of songs and with a good variation. On many tracks we also hear his blues brothers playing grand piano, Hammond organ, Wurlitzer, resonator & upright bass, percussion, fiddle, mandolin etc. With a fantastic voice and great slide guitar playing on all his resonator guitars - just have a look in the CD-booklet!! - this album is Bottleneck John's debut on Opus 3 Records. We are fortunate to have a very unusual and unique blues album, with so much authenticity and inspiration from the first half of the 20th century, when many legendary blues musicians were active. In the CD-booklet, you find a lot of background and history of both the songs and the instruments used on the album, which is not that usual nowadays.
