I haven't heard it, but it should be a great recording...
"
Delmark recording artist Rockin' Johnny Burgin is the new modern king of Chicago West Side blues. He recorded "Greetings from Greaseland" with the cream of the crop of the San Francisco Bay blues scene at California's funkiest studio, Greaseland. This CD, his sixth, features Aki Kumar on harp, Kid Andersen on gtr, Vance Ehlers on bass and June Core on drums. It also features the first recordings of Johnny on harp. There's some great chemistry and blues feeling on display on his first ever California recording with these great Bay area blues players."

That ought to be a fantastic record. I saw Rockin' Johnny several times when he was out here recording that CD. For people that dig a really nice traditional sound, it doesn't get much better than those guys. They played several shows together and the band was super tight and Johnny had a collection of great songs. I had the opportunity to play with him a bit on some of those shows. It was a good time. I wish I had recorded some of it.

He's recorded with a lot of people. Some of my favorite stuff he did was backing up Taildragger (w/ Martin Lang on harp) and Robert Plunkett (w/ Hummel on harp).
