Announced back in mid December was a new vinyl single by
Joe Johnson for release on
Cannonball Records. It's available from today and consists of two tracks from a hard to
find private press album ("Sounds Forever" on Gran Mill John) available on single for the first
time.
The album is not dated but by the sound of the A side of the single
"What's The Matter With You", and the sleeve images, it indicates late 60s/early 70s, with "I Still Love" sounding more like late 60s. The five tracks on the A side of
the album all seem to be early 60s and even late 50s songs whilst the
B side consists of original songs written by several of the band
members with both sides of the single written by Cleo Parks.
The band was made up of Joe Johnson and family members(?) Ira Johnson
(piano), Claude Johnson (electric piano), TJ Johnson (harmonica) and
Randy Barker (bass guitar), Cleo Parks (lead guitar), Eddie Henderson
(bass guitar), Louis Fields (drums).

In view of the 2 titles here present, the LP must be very good. Hoping for a new release...
