Johnny Rivers - Realization

Joe Koz · 12-27-2002, 02:05 PM

Just picked up Johnny Rivers "Realization" a 30th anniversary edition. What a great record huh...CD I mean. Does a great version of Dylan's "Positively 4th Street". Also does good versions of "Hey Joe" & "Winter Shade of Pale". If theres any Johnny River fans here and you don't have this CD, I highly recommended it.

Well, for my money, the one thats a mist have is "And I Know You Wanna Dance", the Lp with "Secret Agent Man".

This ons is filled with great songs...check out Johnnys version of Al Wilsons "The Snake"/ Oh.....and I dont care what the jacket says, thats gotta be Hal Blaine on drums on The Snake.......check out that roll around from the smallest tom to the biggest....fantastic!

Guys,

I saw Mr. Rivers play at the Hatshell on the Charles River in Boston this summer! Let me tell you, he is a very, very, very underrated axeman!
Very good concert and FREE to boot. As an aside, I used to live in Carmel, California and frequent a restaurant named Ventana's. Johnny had a farm just up the mountain from the joint. If you are ever in Big Sur, make sure and stop!!

I saw Johnny a couple of years ago here in NYC. He was sounding GREAT.

He did "Where Have All The Flowers Gone" and the crowd went wild!
