When Life Comes Knockin'
(Foot Tapping Records)
Airtight.
Johnny J spins from roots-idioms to contemporary inclinations, and never casts a backward glance. His guitar has many voices; each of remarkable distinction.
In moments, Nicola Carla's exquisite sonorisations recall Blondie's Debbie Harry. She imbues passages as is appropriate, whether with delicate nuance or strength formidable.
Drummer Dave West proves direct and efficacious at every turn. Each downbeat, crackled pop, and resounding crash is in character with the dynamic presentation.
Meanwhile, unobtrusively sure doghouse-manipulator Kurt Fox maintains confident guides. His efforts are crucial to the success of the whole. Adamant, but ever nimble.
The imaginative writing is assured of its stride. Material sometimes bespeaks ground long-broken -- no slight, that -- but also dares to explore in more modern, inventive fashion.
