DONALD RAY JOHNSON
9:00 pm - $15
“Not only is Johnson a great drummer – having performed with the likes of Joe Houston, Big Mama Thornton, Percy Mayfield, Lowell Fulson, Phillip Walker, Maurice John Vaughan and Sonny Rhodes – he is also a fine blues singer in the mould of BB and Albert King. – the BBK influence evident on tracks like the slow grooving ‘No Guitar Blues’, ‘It Ain’t Easy Being Blue’ and ‘These Blues’. ‘Always on My Mind’ is a deeply soulful performance illustrating the breadth and diversity of Johnson’s talents”. – Blues in Britain
“These are real blues. Donald Ray Johnson is a veteran great who was a fixture on the L.A. scene. Now living in Calgary, and a naturalized Canuck, he’s the big dog in the pond. His best stuff is smooth and stinging with the classic big throat of real blues”. – Long Island Blues Society
“It’s Time”, his fifth solo album is a fiery, joyful and an assured revue of various blues strains, all wrapped up around vocals that veer from silky smooth to dark and soulful”. – Calgary Herald
