Like every Friday, my digital inbox is overflowing with promotions for new releases. I follow a few artists and record labels on Bandcamp but over the last few weeks more and more bands have been contacting me directly asking for a review on my blog. I usually delete them completely but occasionally I do them a favour and listen to their releases. Again, the mail is usually deleted because the music doesn't appeal to me.
One exception this week was Bravo Johnson, the pseudonym of Spaniard Ricardo Amurrio, who, according to my information, now lives in Los Angeles. He describes his music as a sound that combines beat poetry with folk, blues and American guitar music.
And he's not even wrong about that. Original rock ‘n’ roll with good guitar parts that also feels at home in Americana. Nothing really new, but songs that are best enjoyed live on a Saturday night in a smoky pub.
