JOHNSON, Roy Lee
When A Guitar Plays The Blues

(1961-68) (72:38/30) Bear Family Records. Die erste, lange überfällige Sammlung mit seltenen und gesuchten Singles von Roy Lee Johnson, einer Kultfigur für Gitarren- und Deep-Soul-Fans. Mit 'Mister Moonlight', das Millionen von den Beatles kennen, aber eigentlich von Dr. Feelgood And The Interns stammt (Gesang: Roy Lee Johnson) und mit der Originalversion von 'When A Guitar Plays The Blues', das Albert Collins und Roy Buchanan bekannt gemacht haben. Mit elf unveröffentlichten Titeln, vier davon vom unterbewerteten Soulmusiker Curtis Smith, der neben Johnson bei den Interns sang und Gitarre spielte. Großartiger beseelter Soul/Blues der Sixties, detailgetreu aufbereitet mit einem grandios bebilderten Essay von Soul-Kenner Martin Goggin. -- Roy Lee Johnson machte zunächst auf sich aufmerksam als Teilzeitsänger von The Interns, einer R&B-Band, die von Dr. Feelgood alias Piano Red geleitet wurde. Auf diserer CD findet sich grobe Dance-Bearbeitungen, intensive Soul-Balladen, wilde Instrumentals und aggressive Nummern aus den Muscle Shoals Studios. Roy Lee Johnsons beste Aufnahmen - unverzichtbar!

English:
The first, long overdue collection of rare but sought-after singles by Roy Lee Johnson, the underground hero of guitar freaks and deep soul fans. Includes 'Mister Moonlight', known to millions by the Beatles but originally by Dr Feelgood and the Interns (vocal: Roy Lee Johnson) and the first version of 'When A Guitar Plays The Blues', since revived by Albert Collins and Roy Buchanan. Eleven previously unissued tracks including four by underrated soul man, Curtis Smith, Johnson's fellow singer-guitarist in the Interns. The most soulful of Sixties soul packaged with all Bear Family's meticulous attention to detail including a lavishly illustrated essay by Martin Goggin. -- Roy Lee Johnson first came to attention as the occasional vocalist with the Interns, a R&B band led by blues shouter Dr Feelgood, aka Piano Red. But there's a whole lot more to this songwriter, guitarist and singer of soul with a capital 'S'. Johnson's little heard treasures of Southern soul are finally served up on one CD. Everything he recorded for Okeh, Columbia, Josie and Philips is here. There are gritty dance workouts, lilting soul ballads, ferocious instrumentals and devastating deep wrist-slashers from Muscle Shoals. Sixties soul reissues may be coin of the realm these days but few are quite as essential as this scorching collection of Roy Lee Johnson's best performances.
