SE 4 Ep 12 Classic Album Feature - John Mooney - Against The Wall

“Mooney is one of a handful of younger blues players who has forged his own style, a jarring juxtaposition of angular Delta guitar and funky New Orleans backbeats. He explores the dark sides of those traditions in Against the Wall, a harrowing and stark work. Mooney's voice and guitar, both quivering, conjure up the image of a lost soul at a Delta crossroads at midnight; his shadowy bass- and-drum rhythm section evokes the ominous powers of voodoo.”                                                         All Music     Overdue for a classic album feature, I’ve dug deep into the Blues With A Feeling library this week to bring you this sensational album, John Mooneys 1996 classic “Against The Wall” A particular favourite of mine, I’m thrilled to feature this incredible record for you this week.   Plus new releases from Cedric Burnside, James Harman, Rick Estrin & The Nightcats, Sue Foley, Eric Bibb and Anthony Geraci.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
