:Johnson’s slide slithers like a snake in heat adding emphasis and lead lines to bolster this stoned blues-rock gem on to heights of glory so good, you’ll want to play iy over and over and over. And then again.”
- GOLDMINE

“This disc [Revelation] is a master class in what a slide is capable of in the hands of someone that knows how to use it. It’s no exaggeration to call the results magnificent… 5 star review.”
