Jeremiah

Jeremiah Johnson is a 1972 western film directed by Sydney Pollack and starring Robert Redford as the title character and Will Geer as "Bear Claw" Chris Lapp. The film has been said to have been based in part on the life of the legendary mountain man Liver-Eating Johnson, based on Raymond Thorp and Robert Bunker's book Crow Killer: The Saga of Liver-Eating Johnson and Vardis Fisher's Mountain Man.

The third studio album by Jonathan Jeremiah is a great singer/songwriter album with a lot of soul! "Oh Desire", the new album from London singer/songwriter Jonathan Jeremiah, begins with fanatical guitars, spine-tingling strings, melodies that seem like woven and ends with the feeling of complete satisfaction. He takes us on a journey through the genres of soul, folk and country and makes us feel emotional worlds of love, loss and despair. But in the end is the desire, just "Oh Desire". The power of music, this desire to communicate through it, it enabled the single-minded musicians to evolve musically and personally. Certainly one of the most exciting singer/songwriter albums of the year.

Some artists need smoke and mirrors. All Jeremiah Johnson needs are songs. In the age of manufactured pop, the acclaimed St. Louis bandleader is a beacon of time-honored songcraft, writing on acoustic guitar, digging deep for raw lyrics and insisting on studio production that bottles the sweat of his shows. The approach might sound old-school, but on Heavens To Betsy, the result is some of the most vital music of the new decade. Heavens To Betsy is another bold creative leap for an artist on fire. It's been just two years since Straitjacket hit #6 on the Billboard Blues Album chart and scored rave reviews across the board (Blues Blast: "This is grade-A primo stuff").
