Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Johnny Copeland came out of the same Houston scene where the mix of blues, swing, and R&B produced fellow singer-guitarists like T- Bone Walker, Albert Collins, Gatemouth Brown, and Joe Hughes. With his gruff southern soul vocals, his elastic sense of phrasing, his fondness for horns and his piercing guitar solos, Copeland made some of the best blues albums of the '80s. Flyin' High is his first on a major label and is everything a blues comeback album should be. It boasts strong original songs, smart horn charts, guest stars who came to work rather than schmooze, and performances that look forward rather than backward. --Geoffrey Himes

5.0 out of 5 stars I agree with the editoral review, March 10, 2006
The editoral review pretty much sums things up.

I just want to add that the couple of instrumentals are brilliant.

Johnny Copeland is in the Albert Collins and Luther Allison school in it is less "cityfied" with a rougher edge sound.

The only concerns are the cd is only 41 minutes long, where even the out takes or disgarded tracks would have probably been quality stuff.

While Dr. John plays on it, don't expect the typical version of jambalya (on the bayo), it is a bit alternative
