Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
Sometime Tuesday Morning starts with a mysterioso Spanish-tinge deep-feel samba, guitarist Johnny A and his trio (it's guitar-bass-drums based, but not a power-trio by any means) showing that Charlie Hunter and Medeski, Martin & Wood aren't the only youngsters around who can go back to the 1960s and find fresh things to reinterpret. Johnny is firmly in the frame for great grooves, and as left-field a claim as it may sound, his blueprints seem more likely to be Duane Eddy, Chet Atkins and Hank Garland than Wes Montgomery, Duane Allman and Jimi Hendrix. Johnny contributes well over half the compositions here, and most of them coalesce around the kind of quietly rollicking mid-tempo rhythm that organ trios used to favour in the early 1960s. His covers include a worthy shot at Lennon/McCartney's "Yes It Is" (although things get a little stodgy by the end), an excellent, strutting "Walk Don't Run" and a sensational ballad reading of "Wichita Lineman" that gets you reaching for the repeat button more than once. Impossible to categorise, this will have to be put down to "great guitar music". Bill Frisell be warned. --Keith Shadwick

Great Guitar Playing,
By Robert Lee Johnson (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sometime Tuesday Morning (Audio CD)
I heard this album yesterday. I was so taken by the Music Artistry. Johnny A has it for certain. I rate the Guitar Artistry of Johnny A along side the Guitar Mastery of Chet Atkins and Pat Matheny. Robert Lee Johnson

A real smoothie,

This review is from: Sometime Tuesday Morning (Audio CD)
Writing a music/guitar album is very hard. It's very difficult not to make your songs soung like their all the same or just some kind of extended jam session. Not only does Johnny A gives the songs identity he gives them a great jazz/blues feel. I had the fortune of catching him live with B.B. King. It was the first time I heard him play and he was worth the price of addmission. This cd is a great repersentation of his music.

Refreshing - Just Guitar!,
By
This review is from: Sometime Tuesday Morning (Audio CD)
The only reason I didn't give this CD 5 stars is because there were a couple remakes of old songs I never liked to begin with - but, that's just me. With that exception, I'll say BUY IT. This CD is refreshing because it's just fabulous guitar music. No lyrics to spoil the pureness of exquisite picking. Johnny A. transitions from blues to jazz to country (even some slide in there) flawlessly. Here's a CD you'll listen to over and over and hum the tunes when you're not listening to it.
