Eric Clapton and the blues have been inextricably linked dating back to his mid-1960s stint as a string-bending phenomenon in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. A decade after the release of his blues homage FROM THE CRADLE, Clapton's ME AND MR. JOHNSON pays tribute to his hero Robert Johnson. Rounding up a stellar backing crew, including Andy Fairweather-Low and Jerry Portnoy (both of whom appeared on CRADLE), Slowhand approaches the Johnson canon with a relaxed and confident touch.

Applying liberal amounts of slide and fuzz guitar, this English rock legend saunters along fare such as "Traveling Riverside Blues" and "Love in Vain," time-honored Johnson classics better known through renditions by Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones, respectively. Portnoy's unobtrusive harp provides subtle accompaniment to Clapton's heartfelt playing, be it the swirling dirge "Hell Hound on My Trail" or the harmony-soaked "Come on in My Kitchen." The proceedings are also enhanced by the Hammond organ and piano work of sideman Billy Preston, whose trips up and down the eighty-eights give added punch to songs like the rollicking "32-20 Blues" and the barrelhouse "They're Red Hot."

Rolling Stone (4/15/04, p.150) - 4 stars out of 5 - "When he finds Satan on his doorstep in 'Me and the Devil Blues,' you can hear in Clapton's deep, scarred howl that he is confronting an old acquaintance."
Rolling Stone (p.142) - Included in Rolling Stone's Top 50 Records Of 2004 - "In this superb, all-Johnson program, Clapton celebrates the Delta poetry that moved him to reinvent blues guitar..."
Entertainment Weekly (4/2/04, p.65) - "[C]lapton sounds reinvigorated in these 14 songs by crossroads soul-salesman Robert Johnson..." - Rating: B+
Uncut (4/04, p.102) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[A]t 58, he sounds like a man who has faced down more than a few canine devils of his own."

5 stars THANK YOU MR. JOHNSON
I first heard of Robert Johnson 30+ years ago when I read that he was Clapton's favorite blues artist. At last, here is the finest collection of cover songs of all time. These songs are OLD..many from the 1930s, lovingly and respectfully done by one of the best artists the world has produced, and along with the venerable Billy Preston, Clapton pays homage to his hero. If you are not familiar with Robert Johnson, now is the time. There is not a bad lick in the bunch. Also highly recommended is the video, "The Search For Robert Johnson." Thanks, Eric, for helping us learn more about our own music, and for keeping the memory of Mr. Johnson alive.

3 stars Routine
Clapton's 1st blues album back to the cradle is his best effort. I expected this would match if not exceed it, the music being by Clapton's blues idol. But no, this is a disappointment. It is a professional effort, routine, no excitement on any of the tracks. Guitar is heard seldom, and solos are short, also sounding routine. The sound is OK, standard, muddy by design at times. You can safely pass this by.

Here With Me
Maria Long Here With Me CD  (2006)

Me And Mr. Johnson album
CD $18.99
In a society where talking about God is quickly becoming a thing of the past, Maria Long brings a different approach. She is up front about what she believes and will share with anyone who asks. Her lyrics are personal and vulnerable about her experiences and struggles with God. They are clear because Maria never wants people to be mistaken about where she stands. "Christ is everything to me!" she states. She views her music ministry as more than just an opportunity to perform the songs that God has given her. She believes that God has given her these musical talents to speak out on issues that are affecting teens today like: suicide, sex, drugs, and lack of purpose. Through powerful testimonies and sharing the stories behind her songs, Maria gives her audience a meaningful experience that they can all relate with, and challenges them to STANDOUT for God.

Music has always been a huge influence in Maria's life. During her childhood years her parents were in a traveling singing group and toured all over the US. At age 2 Maria wrote her first song. She has performed on countless stages for many church events and programs. Her passion for making music that speaks to the heart came early in her life when she accepted Christ as her personal Savior at age 12. In high school Maria traveled around Texas as a singing recruiter. Then when she attended Southwestern Adventist University in Texas she traveled to youth conferences, retreats, high schools, camps, campmeetings, and churches all over the U.S. sharing God and music with many teens her age. In 1998, her Junior year in college, she decided to become a student missionary on a tiny island called Yap. She taught 6th and 7th grades that year and found a new passion for her life in addition to music. It was there that she made the decision to become ...

Soul Of A Sinner
2000 LBS Of Blues Soul Of A Sinner CD  (2009)

Me And Mr. Johnson album
CD $13.29
Soul of a Sinner, features guitar wizard Kirk "Eli" Fletcher and vocalist Michael "Pink" Arguello. This CD is far from predictable and is a Very Exciting Blues Release! Deep, Raw and Soulful Blues at it's Best, Straight from the Heart! 5 Stars! A fixture in the Southern California music scene since the 80's, known mostly for his up-tempo 40's style Jump Blues, Mike Arguello and his band 2000 LBS OF BLUES, is doing something a little different this time around with the newly released CD SOUL OF A SINNER. Arguello isn't leaving jump blues for good, only stretching his musical muscle and songwriting abilities with something a little deeper, a little edgier and even a little darker than his previous 3 CDs.

SOUL OF A SINNER is an unpredictable musical journey through a collection of soulfully interpreted, heartfelt songs. Twelve of the 13 songs are original works that run the musical gamut from big-time gritty harmonica blues, to guitar-crunching funky rockers, a smooth Latin-Jazzy number, all the way to a chest-pounding rap honoring the city of New Orleans. Never forgetting their well-loved roots, the band takes you on that journey via a wild, musical tightrope walk led by fearless bandleader Arguello, who, jumping from side to side, bouncing you up and down, crazily coming close, never lets you fall off! This long awaited 4th CD was recorded, engineered and mixed entirely at Ardent Audio Productions in Torrance, CA, by Rich Wenzel. Over a long weekend this past February, Arguello and Wenzel gathered together a powerhouse lineup of well known, 5-Star musicians all of whom have been or are 2000 Lbs of Blues band members. Those players include:Michael Arguello ~ Vocals, Acoustic guitarRich Wenzel ~ Piano, Keyboards (Dave Mason Band)Kirk Fletcher ~ Guitar (Fabulous Thunderbirds, Charlie Musselwhite)Gonzalo Bergara ~ Guitar (Jon Jorgensen, Dan Hicks)Bobby Tsukamoto ~ Bass (John Trudell, Jackson Brown)Tom ...
