Singer-songwriter Johnny Drummer (Thessex Johns) is another Chicago bluesman from the department of the South Side. He is a multi-talented musician that has thrown his sophomore hat into the blues ring in celebration.

This effort, similar to his Earwig debut, it's So Nice; finds Johnny out there and on time with his South Side soul blues degree. Perhaps with a stronger blues flare and Chicago flavor, Drummer delivers another powerful set of music; penning eleven of thirteen tunes in this can. He wrote twelve out of the fourteen ear-catching tracks on the album. These songs could be listed under Johnny’s real name, Thessex Johns.

Not only is Johnny an entertaining vocalist, and prolific songwriter, he is also an arranger and bandleader. The songs are an exciting mix of genuine blues and R&B ones, rounded out with some love ballads. Many of the songs are about relationships.

''Born In The Delta'' is perhaps autobiographical. ''Somebody Please ' Me A Job'' is reminiscent of Boz Scagg's ''Somebody Loan Me a Dime” but more realistic for the times. In the title track, ''Unleaded Blues,” Drummer shows off his piano playing and is the only instrumental in the album.

It is a treat to hear music from the CD that isn't mixed with rock and funk rhythms. He sings his songs from the heart and thus gives a dynamic presentation. Johnny Drummers ' bands is a creative and tight one.

Johnny Drummer will be accompanied by Hani Alayli (guitar), Walid Tawil (drums), - Abboud Saadi (bass), and Richard Fawwaz (bass).
