The Rockin' Johnny Band
Grim Reaper
Delmark DE 820
The Rockin' Johnny Band has been one of Chicago's most loved blues bands since 1995. Their Monday night residency at The Smoke Daddy led to Straight Out of Chicago (Delmark 720), their first CD. Their original, energetic approach made them a strong draw bringing in blues aficionados, every musician in town and a younger crowd that normally didn't go hear blues bands. The Rockin' Johnny Band plays modern Chicago blues, but also ventures into funk, rock, and swing. With Rick Kreher, rhythm guitar; John Sefner, bass; Steve Bass, drums; Big D, harmonica. Grim Reaper features many new original compositions including It's Expensive To Be Broke, One And One Ain't Two, Shoe Leather & Tire Rubber.

Quintus McCormick
Still Called The Blues
Delmark DE 821
Quintus McCormick's acclaimed Delmark debut from 2009 Hey Jodie! (Delmark 801) was one of the best soul-blues albums of the new millennium's first decade. Quintus' second CD Put It on Me! (Delmark 815) proved he is one of contemporary Chicago's brightest stars. And now the prolific songwriter is back again with new joints, ready to pop like That's My Baby, It Won't Work, I Gotta Go, What Am I Gonna Do?, Always, Searching For Your Love, I'm In Love With You Baby. Plus there's Quintus own personal spin on covers of The Beatles' Oh! Darling, George Jackson's Still Called The Blues and Old Time Rock And Roll and more...Great blend of straight ahead blues, soul blues, r&b, funk and soul music. Anyway you look at it, it's Still Called The Blues.
