• Elmore James seems to have fathered numerous children while living in Mississippi but Earnest Johnson was one of the few who got to know his dad and at one point played drums in his band.

• Now, under the stage name Elmore James Jr, Earnest heads his own six piece band, playing in the same "bare knuckle" bottleneck style which was Elmore senior' s trademark and in his passionate singing you can hear strong echoes of his father's voice.

• The songs here include "Dust My Broom" and "The Sky Is Crying" -- numbers indelibly linked with Elmore James -- but there is plenty of original material as well. Elmore James Jr has an honest desire to keep the legend of his father and his father's music alive for future generations and he and his band play the Mississippi-rooted Chicago blues with great conviction.
