3 Bedroom

This was Johnson's final album before his death in 1976, and it was originally cut for Black and Blue (now reissued with three bonus tracks). While various tracks reflect the influence of Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed and John Lee Hooker, Johnson's own inimitable vocals, raspy lines and tart guitar eventually create his own aura. He is nicely backed by drummer Fred Below, bassist Dave Myers, guitar burner Lonnie Brooks and the solid rhythm work of Hubert Sumlin. This was a fine session for a good, occasionally outstanding blues artist.

Promo CD for two albums in Demon Records' re-issue campaign of the mighty Elvis Costello back catalogue. 1994 promo sampler includes highlights from the 1994 reissues of Almost Blue (1981) and Imperial Bedroom (1982).
