Johnny Moeller is the newly crowned Austin guitar wizard. His guitar playing is certainly one part Stevie Ray, one part Anders Osborne and another Freddie King. Johnny is a current member of the Fabulous Thunderbirds where fellow member Kim Wilson describes Johnny as a "monster and should be recognized as one of the worlds top musicians". Johnny mixes electric blues with rock and plenty of soul on this disc to keep his audience on the edge of their seats in anticipation of the next note that is going to be played. Johnny has also assembles a first rate band on this disc which includes special guests Kim Wilson of the T-Birds, fellow Texans Louann Barton and Shawn Pittman. It is still early, but this will be an easy pick as one of the best blues discs for 2010. Reviewed By: Gregg Saur
