Opis wydawcy:
Studebaker John (John Grimaldi to jego prawdziwe nazwisko) należy do najciekawszych harmonijkarzy współczesnego bluesa. Jego styl wyrastający brzmieniowo z chicagowskiego bluesa oszałamia zawrotną czasem szybkością i masywnością brzmienia. Na gitarze posługuje się ognistą techniką slide. Artysta korzysta z metalowej lub szklanej rurki, którą przesuwa po strunach nietypowo nastrojonej gitary.

Jego pseudonim artystyczny pochodzi od legendarnego samochodu Studebaker Lark, której to marce muzyk jest wierny od wielu lat.

Studebaker John upodobał sobie siarczyste brudne brzmienie bluesa z lat 50-tych, ale gra niemal wyłącznie własne kompozycje. W jego korzennej wybuchowej dawce blues-rocka słuchacze znajdą elementy boogie, funku, swingu i swamp bluesa z Luizjany.
Rozpoczął muzyczną karierę we wczesnych latach 70-tych tworząc zespół The Hawks. Nazwa towarzyszącego Studebakerowi zespołu - the Hawks - jest ukłonem w stronę idola, przyjaciela i mentora, J.B. Hutto. To w dużej mierze na jego grze wzorował się John.
Innym mentorem Studebakera jest Hound Dog Taylor: brzmienie gitary tego właśnie muzyka spowodowało, że John zapałał nieprzepartą namiętnością do stylu gry slide, i do dziś obdarza świat przenikliwymi dźwiękami, ostro jeżdżąc po strunach chromowaną rurką. Jako kostki używa starej ćwierćdolarówki, co jeden z krytyków trafnie skomentował: metal po metalu, szybko, żeby nie zardzewiało.

Od tego czasu wydał 11 albumów dla cenionych wytwórni amerykańskich i europejskich.
„Kingsville Jukin’” to jego najnowszy krążek wydany przez legendarną chicagowską Delmark Records.

O swojej najnowszej płycie Studebaker John tak opowiada:
„On my last CD, Maxwell Street Kings, I wanted to capture the raw, less-is-more sound that I first heard on Chicago’s Maxwell St. My new CD, Old School Rockin’, is rockin’ blues that helps people to forget their troubles. I’ve tried to incorporate the raw blues sound into songs that strive to be more contemporary and without musical boundaries. It’s what that sound turned into in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, when the raw blues heavily influenced many contemporary artists, and changed the course of popular music. Old School Rockin’ is for all the people, from the rocking blues crowd to the purists, and from the young folks just getting into it to those who’ve been listening all along”

Editor's info:
As a teenager John Grimaldi worked in the family plumbing business that sometimes took him to Chicago’s Maxwell Street open-air market. There he saw musicians playing raw, amplified blues. After seeing Hound Dog Taylor perform John knew he had to play slide guitar. Under the spell of these music experiences he started performing as Studebaker John in the ‘70s. Almost forty years and a dozen albums later Studebaker John is still creating new songs, (Kingsville Jukin’ is over an hour of all new originals) still rockin’ the blues the way they did on Maxwell Street. The band also features Rick Kreher, guitar; Bob Halaj, bass and Steve Cushing, drums. In a review of the first Maxwell Street Kings CD, That’s The Way You Do (Delmark 810) Steven Jones/Blues Blast Magazine wrote: “I’ve listened to a lot of Studebaker John Grimaldi’s recordings over the years, and this new release may just blow the rest of them all away! His harp is greasy and hot, his slide cuts like a knife and his vocals are truly inspired.”

I just received a copy of the new release, Kingsvile Jukin' by Studebaker John & the Maxwell Street Kings and it's a raw blues butt whoopin good time! Opening with Mississippi To Chicago with all of the vigor and crispness of Hound Dog Taylor! On When They Played The Real Blues, John plays in traditional Chicago style along with great harmonica. Shake It Down Now is a real cool track with contemporary sound but keeping it's primitive roots. Over driven guitar and vocals give it a definite raw texture. The Rest Is Up To You is a cool boogie pushed along by Steve Cushing on drums and Bob Halaj on bass. Grinding guitar riffs are teams with super harp riffs making this one of the best tracks on the release.
On I Am The Houserocker, John has a real greasy groove and his slide playing is right out of Elmore land. John's voice is also particularly cool on this track. Howlin' In The Moonlight blends the droning sound of a primitive delta track with Howlin' Wolf like vocals making for a very satisfying track. Think cool and primitive. Ride Again takes a lesson from Morganfield with a smokin' Chicago blues track with a lot of mojo, but with a modern twist and primitive distorted overall sound. Really nice! The title track, Kingsville Jukin' is a hot little harp track with light cymbals and rhythm guitar... cool! Wicked Soul has a rough and ready texture with delta style vocal delivery and rhythm guitar that really hits home. John has a wicked way with the slide and I really like it!
Shake Some For Me is another great track that Hound Dog Taylor would be proud to own. John has really captured the spirit of the primitive Chicago sound and has captured it here on this recording. Right Tonight is a cool driving boogie opening the door for a riding guitar rhythm and nice harp work.
John knows how to place the notes where they need to be and not to clutter the music too much with frivolous details. Ending the release is a great slider, Bad Gasoline. A foot stompin' stripped down guitar, vocal and amp on full distortion is just the ticket and the slide playing is just super. If you like the primitive sound that Hound Dog Taylor is know for and you like Chicago Blues... If you like one man band sounds.... you'll love this recording. Nice....real nice!!!
