From the rare 2009 Soul City Records CD Shadows On The Moon
Review:
Johnny Rivers was once described in a Rolling Stone review for Slim Slow Slider as "...having a voice like softly curling cigarette smoke.".Another way to think of him as an artist who never has a note out of place on any recording,
The rockabilly cat of the Whiskey,transformed himself on Changes and Rewind then went full circle with the masterpiece of Realization. Last Train To Memphis and Reinvention Highway in recent years proved Rivers was no "oldies act" living on the memories of his aging fan base.Shadows On The Moon recorded with some of the best jazz musicians in the music business is a totally ,fresh, vibrant sound. What is a music genre to the ever versatile Johnny Rivers? Not something that stifles his creativity that has been proven over and over in his career spanning over 7 decades.
Don't expect to hear Chuck Berry covers here,instead a CD highlight is the 40 year too late collaboration with Jimmy Webb Where Words End a song that brings tears to your eyes if you've ever lost a loved one, This album's sound is tinged with jazz, reggae,Indian,and guitar work to die for. Not just another typical reworking of familiar hits that so many older artists get caught up in but another chapter in the career of an important figure in American Musical History.
