Jimmy Johnson is one of Chicago's finest blues musicians, yet he still is relatively unknown outside of the Windy City. Except for a few highly-acclaimed albums on Delmark and Alligator more than a decade ago, his recorded output has been minimal. That's what makes his newest CD, Every Road Ends Somewhere (Ruf), worth its weight in gold. This is a solid release from start to finish, highlighted by Johnson's stinging West Side-style guitar and soulful, almost falsetto, vocals. Most of the cuts are original numbers, and the covers are so different from the originals that you'll recognize them only by the lyrics.
