Sometimes a voice that is not your run-of-the-mill cookie-cutter, basic angst-ridden, whiney singer-songwriter wimp by degrees is a welcome relief. Ok, David Graff is not a powerful singer – he’s not the late Jim Morrison, Elvis Presley, deep as Leonard […]
Johnny Chops is at it again and it’s another rewarding little collection of interesting tunes all sewed together into a tapestry of bluesy grit and soulful originals. Lubbock, Texas’ Johnny “Chops” Richardson has been doing music for two decades and […]
