Johnny Rawls' new release, Ace of Spades, is another winning hand. It's a safe bet that Johnny, with Ace of Spades, will soon be adding a prestigious Blues Music Award to his resume; The Blues Foundation has already nominated him four times in the past. Johnny is a proud exponent of soul-blues, that special subgenre that's also the domanin of notables Mighty Sam McClain, Little Milton, and Bobby Bland. Throughout Ace of Spades, he communicates with shadings of honest emotion. He delves into hurt and loss, joy and satisfaction, everything in between, with spirit and self-confidence. He has the rare ability to steer a clear narrative path over the rhythmic flow of his studio bands.
