THE WORD ON THE STREET
“It’s the kind of record to take away and listen to over and over when you have hours of driving. There is something for everyone, this album is rich and the feeling is on the edge of pick and reed. It is essential.” – Bluesagain.com
.
“…magnificent” about covers the whole of “Heavens to Betsy” in one word. Like they’ve dusted off the all-American rock n roll songbook and given it a spruce up. Good heavens, this is a cracker.” - Maximum Volume
.
"...all you have to do is sit back and enjoy his celebration of all things that made southern rock such a hallmark sound of the 70's. This is a return to how the greats did it." - Midwest Review

9th & russell
RELEASED IN 2010
After 10 years in Houston TX, 9th & Russell was the first release by Jeremiah Johnson upon his return to St Louis. 9th & Russell established Johnson as one of the top up and coming musicians in the St Louis area and launched the next 9 years into motion. 9th and Russell didn't receive much radio play beyond the St Louis area, but quickly became a local hit and the band began to sell out all the local venues.
It featured Brad Martin (drums) and Jeff Girardier (bass & backing vocals) and the Sliders (horn section comprised of Jim Rosse (trumpet) and Stuart Williams (saxophone). The Sliders are long-time players on the St. Louis blues/R&B scene – working together for over 25 years)
THIS IS A FUN CD!
