Johnny "Hurricane" Jone



Rev. Johnny L. "Hurricane" Jones - One More Time from "Jesus Christ from A to Z" by dusttodigital

If you done lost yo' religion and need somebody to help you get it back do not rely on The Best iPhone Photographer in the World - he will lead you astray. However, he can direct you to some damn fine tunes. Like this one he turned me on to today from Parlortone - the following is from their site:

"More than a half-century ago, a young country preacher from backwoods Alabama came to the big city and made his name leading one of Atlanta’s largest Baptist congregations. In a great Southern metropolis renowned for its preachers, Rev. Johnny L. Jones stood out for his unique delivery that combined solid theological grounding and moody, explosive flights into a high-turbulence zone between song and speech, earning him a reputation as the Fireball Preacher and more famously, The Hurricane. "Jesus Christ from A to Z" (PT-4001) was compiled from more than 50 years of reel-to-reel tapes of live church recordings."more

The Best iPhone Photographer in the World
has been trying to wrench me out of a musical black hole I've been in since the break up of the Dexateens. He's been randomly sending me lil' tidbits like this in an attempt to see me musically happy again. I don't think I'll every be outta this gloom, but Junior Kimbrough don't hurt. I'm pretty familiar with him, but honestly hadn't thought about the guy in a few years... Damn, I'm an idiot.

If you ain't heard 'em or have forgotten him like me, take a listen again...
