John Verity - Where's the Love? (2019) [CD Rip]

John Verity is the man and musician who is ‘blue to his soul’ and has been one of the most consistent performers on the British blues rock circuit for many years, since the early days opening for Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and others in the US and then his time as frontman with Argent. After many years spent primarily in the studio recording and guesting with musicians who have included Colin Blunstone, Ringo Starr, Motorhead, Saxon and The Zombies, John is experiencing a musical renaissance.

‘And while John Verity is still in mighty fine voice, strong deliveries with a deceptively high upper range, it’s his prowess with the beloved Fret-King Corona ‘JV’ signature guitar that truly does the talking. This can be heard to maximum effect on numbers such as the expressive and autobiographical ‘Hope for the best’ and the weightier, pulsating blues rock of ‘Blues in Heaven’. Bang on about Joe Bonamassa all you want but in the smaller but no less rich arena of blues clubs, festivals and theatres then John Verity, for tone and touch is your player of choice.
