IT'S A MEAN OLD SCENE - FIRST PRESS REVIEW (an excerpt)!


GUITARIST MAGAZINE FEB 2012 ISSUE (reviewed by Jamie Dickson):

"Well seasoned chops from a Brit Bluesman - A veteran who shared stages with Hendrix, Mountain and others - John Verity returns to record some updated takes on blues standards such as Hoochie Coochie Man, and The Thrill is Gone.

The tunes are familiar, so the star attraction here is Verity's unhurried, classy phrasing on his fat-toned Fret-King Super 60.

Its interesting how he phrases his vocal in a similar way to his guitar licks-creating a call and response interplay between the two that heightens each track.

Classic blues guitar with a twist of forward thinking"

 

There's more but you'll have to buy the mag!!

The second FREE track is the classic 'Hold your head up' 

JV delivers a definitive version of this stomping track. 

JV Says "Recorded at Livingston Studios in London 1981,

this arrangement forms the basis of what we still do today

with the JV Band, a bit different to the Argent original in that it

doesn't rely so much on keyboards, and works well with the 3 piece lineup..."
