There ain't nothing sauteed, simmered or stewed about J's blues -- served on the bone -- meaty, raw, and dripping in its natural juices.
J Place's 1996 debut CD, 'High Temperature,' was released when he was fronting Nasty J & the Grinders. The self-produced album features chestnuts such as Willie Dixon's classic blues - 'Mellow Down Easy,' 'I Wants to be Loved' and 'I Don't Play,' Little Walter's seldom covered, 'Temperature' and 'Boogie,' John Lee Hooker's 'Big Legs, Tight Skirt', Muddy' Water's 'Streamline Woman,' and Jimmy Reed's 'Ain't That Loving You Baby.'
J's vocals and harp intertwine with the guitar workmanship of Nick Adams, and, like playful whitecaps whipped by an Atlantic gale, one is never sure what course a particular song will take, or where it will resurface....
