TUESDAY BLUES!! Ethan Johns - Whip Poor Will
Do you like Singer/Songwriters, or do you have a unhealthy affection to the sadness, if so you may have a case of the Tuesday Blues!
Is there anything that this man cannot do? Over the last 15 years he has produced, mixed and played on a plethora of albums that include Ryan Adams, Ray LaMontagne, Kings Of Leon, Counting Crows, Laura Marling (the list goes on) and is part of a musical dynasty that have worked on some of the most revered albums of the last 50 years. Glyn Johns (father) has produced albums for artists such as Bob Dylan, The Beatles, The Who (etc) and Andy Johns (uncle) has produced for Led Zeppelins, Rolling Stones and Free. (the list goes on and on)
He's a musical hero of mine and I'm gutted that I missed his recent tour. But then again is it a good idea to meet your heroes? A previous time I met one of my favourite Singer/Songwriters, all I could say when asked what I thought of their performance was, "Tidy". Who the hell says "Tidy?"
Whip Poor Will features on his new solo album If Not Now Then When.
