Five Horse Johnson - Blues for Henry



Five Horse Johnson - Blues For Henry
Studio Recording @192
Out Of Print

When Five Horse Johnson formed back in 1995, announcing themselves as a blues band, their friends may have thought they had cause to worry. After all, it is a well-worn banality that white boys can only ever hope to mimic the blues, isn't it? Thankfully, over the past decade, Five Horse Johnson has happily proven doubters wrong. Over the course of six albums, the band has carved out a niche all their own, combining their love and respect for the blues with classic rock and other less dog-eared influences to become one of the most loved and respected bands in the stoner rock community. Always a right freight train live, the band has spent a lot of time on the road with the likes of Clutch and Halfway To Gone, gathering fans, friends and drinking partners all over the world. Heavy on the harmonica, with a gritty, rural, off the beaten path barroom feel to it, this album plays less as rock n' roll than as blues taken to its hardest limits. If you like hard rock but sometimes wish its blues roots were more evident then you'll LOVE these guys. This is their first release and no longer available.

  3. This blues/rock band majorly kicks ass! LOUD, grungy guitars screeching in tortured pain, foghorn harmonica wails, mammoth drum swats, tectonic bass playing and deep-throated roaring vocals form a gale-force wall of sound that is damned tasty, and guaranteed to be on my mp3 player for some time to come. Go to the website, click on the built in music player (below the band logo) and give these boys a listen! Right Now! GO!!
