CD - Johnny Carlevale - That Ain't No Way To Spend A Friday Night

Known for his stint with rockabilly bands (Dana Stewart & The Old Howards & Ace Brown) Johnny Carlevale is also an avid blues and rhythm’n’blues fan (he also wears some of the greatest sideburns I’ve ever seen). After one mini album recorded in 2005, he’s back with a full length which is, paradoxically, more varied and less repetitive.

Almost all aspects of blues music can be found on this platter. The opening track one of the two covers of the album is a tasty and groovy jump blues ala T Bone Walker with appropriate sax and guitar licks.

A faultless album rounded in a damn fine packaging, who could ask for more? - Fred "Virgil" Turgis - Jumping From 6 To 6 - France
