Johnny Burgin - With ten CDs as a leader to his credit and dozens more as a sideman, Johnny’s unique sound can best be described as a fusion of West Coast and Chicago styles, with an international approach. Here’s what some had to say about his latest CD “No Border Blues”

No Border Blues is gloriously loose, earthy, and immediate Chicago Blues… stellar fretwork.
~Vintage Guitar

This is so raw, that at times you may yearn for blues a bit cleaner, yet therein lies the beauty of this recording. Let it rip, play it loud, and rattle yours and your neighbor’s walls.
~Glide Magazine

Man, these cats wail! And this is as underground as a scene gets.
~Mike Greenblatt, Goldmine
No Border Blues is a powerful collection by a master which shows how this iconic American genre transcends borders, culture, and language.
~Bill Turck, WCGO AM

No Border Blues is a great effort to expand the reach of Chicago blues globally; it’s a first but let’s hope not the last of these kinds of recordings to showcase Chicago’s greatest musical gift to the world.
~Greg Easterling, host of the “American Backroads” and writer for Chicago Blues Guide

If you want blues, you’ll put on this album.
~Steve Ovadia, Blues Rock Revue
