Release: John Fusco - John The Revelator
Title: John the Revelator
Label: Checkerboard Lounge Recordings
Release Date: July 31, 2020

Produced By: Cody Dickinson and George Walker 

While best known as the creator of the 1986 blues movie classic ‘Crossroads’, John Fusco has returned to his musical stomping grounds with his second album John the Revelator; Fusco’s band, the X-Road Riders are a veritable cast of modern blues stars: Cody Dickinson (the North Mississippi Allstars), who produced Fusco’s first, appears behind the board again and also contributes drums, guitars, dobro, piano, and electric washboard. Memphis soul singer



Risse Norman, who has toured and recorded with the North Mississippi Allstars and Samantha Fish, also returns. They are joined by new Fusco collaborator Sarah Morrow, former trombonist for Ray Charles and bandleader for Dr. John, and renowned jazz guitarist/co-producer George Walker Petit. The 20-song, mostly self-penned double album is what Blues Blast Magazine calls authentic, emotionally powerful modern blues-infused roots music, with splashes of rock, soul, pop, and gospel.’ Binding it all together is Fusco’s voice. 

Not just his distinctive Hammond B3 and piano or his gritty, weathered vocals, but his way with words and especially deep drawn, cinematic characters — the too familiar huckster in “Snake Oil Man,” the doomed lovers of “Hottest Part of the Flame” with Morrow’s
trombone evoking the femme fatale, and the down-and-out drifters of “Motel Laws of Arizona.”

Fusco has also brought back his ‘Northern Chapter’ of the Riders, enlisting Kurt Pierson (guitar), Denny Diego (bass), Magic Mark Lavoie (harmonica), and Spencer Perry (drums) on the 10 minute minor blues barn-burner ‘Bad Dog.’
