This Willie Dixon Tribute CD features Boston’s blues man Johnny Barnes interpreting Dixon’s music though his own ears instead of recording them as a cover band. Dixon wrote songs for other blues artists, and his songs were covered by many American and British musicians during the 1960s and 1970s.

It was only less than a week ago that Jerry Paquette handed me this CD released last year. The mouthful title of Jerry “The Reverend” Paquette of The Kan-Tu Blues Band Live At The Village Trestle with special guests jumped out at me.

I’d like to introduce you to my review concept called Retro CD Reviews. The following CDs were released some time ago. Most music magazines have a rule about not reviewing anything released more than six months ago. But I think it is all right to go back and review some CDs that I did not get a chance to write about in the past.

Ernie And The Automatics is a New England based band with a bit of an identity problem. It includes two minor players from the band Boston. Plus, three more well-respected local players who have for years been friends with the minor players from Boston. Add to the mix a likeable, eccentric local auto dealer celebrity who was educated as a musician but never achieved his rock star dream before going to work for his father’s auto dealership. Ernie And The Automatics is named after Ernie Boch Jr., the hyperactive billionaire who inherited his father’s myriad of businesses in Norwood, Massachusetts.
