    to hear this album is like remembering the exact moment when you got treated wrong by your main women. this album is tight to the very end with powerful guitar solos by johnson and drummer dino alvarez is impressive with his handing of the original j...ohnson song, "ashes in my astray". it is must have for any blues fun and for jazz lovers like myself, take a listen to the tune,"take five".

Pro Reviews: Johnson's Whacks

  • All Music Guide

    Uncommon wit runs through the lyrics of this varied set, certainly one of the more intriguing Chicago blues albums of the late '70s. Johnson's high-pitched vocals are particularly soulful on the impassioned "I Need Some Easy Money" and "Ashes in My Ashtray," while "The Twelve Bar Blues" and "Poor Boy's Dream" are upbeat entries that don't sound as comfortable for the guitarist. Johnson gets away with a honky-tonk reprise of Ernest Tubb's country classic "Drivin' Nails in My Coffin," but his rehash of Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" should have stayed on the bandstand.
