LONG "LOST & FOUND"

If
you just wandered into a dive bar on some Chicago
back street at 2 a.m., you’d expect to hear
the blues as played by John Long.
A
veteran performer and frequent sideman of Muddy
Waters, Lost & Found is Long’s first
formal recording after 40 years in the business.
And it’s worth the wait. From Long’s
baritone reaching for the low notes on Pressure
Cooker (‘Bout to Blow) to Leavin’
St. Louis (either version), blues fans have
a whole lot to love on Lost & Found.
Standout
tracks: Hokum Town; the piano led boogie of
Hell Cat; that mean ol’ Stranglevine.
