Johns: Johnny Jenkins

Johnny Jenkins: Sick And Tired

[purchase]

Today, Johnny Jenkins is credited as the man who gave Otis Redding his shot. But he was a hard working bluesman and axe slinger in his own right.

His 1970 album, Ton Ton Macoute!, was originally to be a Duane Allman solo project. Duane went with the Allman Brothers instead but did lend his slide guitar to about half of this Nawlins, swamp blues, voodoo-drenched disc.
