Mike Whellans - Swingtime Johnny Red
Mike Whellans
COMD2036

Mike Whellans has a long and dedicated musical background, but running through it all is the blues. His high energy style and raw and gutsy form of music has thrilled audiences all over the world. 90% of this 'live studio' album is made up of his own songs; Mike brought three friends into the studio. A couple of takes for each track, and his performance and songs shine through.

ROCK N REEL - This Denmark-based Scot is a genuine virtuoso, excelling on harp, guitar and particularly vocal percussion ... ten of the tracks are originals - tough, gutsy blues and rock rnb.

UTNE READER - Whellans is a consummate bluesman: a brilliant songwriter, a sharp singer, and a mean hand at the guitar and harp. Think of him as Jimmy Reed or Willie Dixon transplanted from Lake Michigan to the shores of Loch Lomond.
