Shirley is back with that same blend of traditional good-rockin’ Chicago blues, smoldering R&B and poppin’ soul. Almost all of the 14 songs on Blues Attack are new original compositions by various musicians on the CD along with two great covers of classics “Unchain My Heart” and “634-5789”.\n\n\n\nShirley Johnson – Killer Diller\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShirley Johnson – Killer DillerDelmark DE 757 (2002)\n\n\n\nWith Robert Ward, John Primer, Johnny B. Moore, Maurice John Vaughn.\n\n\n\nShirley Johnson is an outstanding vocalist who finds herself in the vanguard of a remarkable revival of the Chicago female blues singer. For many years she has been an able ambassador, here and abroad, representing both the blues and gospel traditions. Shirley has a passionate, strong voice that can deliver a chugging Chicago blues shuffle with uncommon conviction, and infuse a slow ballad with the reassuring power of her own personal experience. Shirley Johnson is an entirely modern blues singer with ample talent, heart and class. Killer Diller is Shirley’s American debut CD.\n\n\n\n\n
