This clamshell box contains five CDs which present stereo and mono versions of the first two albums (Shades Of Deep Purple and Book Of Taliesyn) along with third album Deep Purple and a selection of bonus tracks. Although the extra material was largely issued as part of the EMI reissues in 2000, this will be the CD debut of Book Of Taliesyn in mono and everything is remastered for 2014…
Excellent 6th studio disc by this outstanding blues/rock guitarist from Ohio featuring 10 tracks of top-shelf, soul-powered, dynamic, retro, six string mojo that rocks the blues with style, class and authority. Jay Jesse Johnson is a true, legit modern day axeslinger supreme and on "Down The Hard Road", Triple J digs deep into his blues roots which showcase his first rate, killer, guitar talents. Highly Recommended to fans and music collectors of the previous awesome Jay Jesse Johnson discs along with disciples of Johnny Winter, Eric Clapton, SRV, Walter Trout, Gary Moore, Roy Buchanan and all other world-class blues/rock guitarists. It's time to rock the blues with JJJ and take a solid guitar fueled musical ride on the authentic "Down The Hard Road" disc.
