Johnny Rivers - Classic

Review by Marci James

Johnny Rivers' album "Classic" is a throwback to the golden era of rock and roll. The album features a collection of timeless hits that have been reimagined and revitalized with Rivers' signature style. From the opening track "Memphis" to the closing number "Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu," the album is a non-stop party from start to finish.

Rivers' gravelly voice is perfectly suited for these classic tunes, and his guitar playing is nothing short of masterful. He brings a fresh energy to each song, infusing them with his own unique personality while staying true to the original spirit of each track.

The album features some of the biggest hits of the 1950s and 1960s, including "Maybellene," "The Midnight Special," and "Blue Suede Shoes." Rivers' covers of these classics are faithful to the original recordings, but with his own touches that make them feel fresh and modern.

Summary by Marci James

"Classic" is a must-have for any fan of rock and roll. Johnny Rivers has done an excellent job of paying tribute to the music that inspired him while putting his own spin on these timeless tunes. It's an album that will have listeners tapping their feet and singing along from start to finish.
