Classic Album Review: Big Sugar | Hit and Run: The Best of …

Three chords, 12 bars, fancy suits, double-neck guitars, fuzzbuster licks, hot cars, wicked wah-wahs, bumptious blues, righteous reggae & more from Gordie Johnson.

This came out in 2003 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


Canadian bluesman Gordie Johnson does the greatest-hits thing. Three chords, 12 bars, fancy suits, double-neck guitars, fuzzbuster licks, hot cars, wicked wah-wah solos, bumptious blues, righteous reggae, 16 CanCon classics including Ride Like Hell, Diggin A Hole, If I Had My Way and The Scene — and, for a limited time, an extra live CD to boot. Sweet.
