John McVey - Meet Me In Houston (2013)

John’s style has evolved over the years. Each iteration has its own distinctive place. But, when you hear John McVey, you KNOW it’s John McVey. There are a lot of wannabe bluesmen that try to shortcut the process. However, to be a great bluesman, you have to have lived it…and understand the blues tradition. John IS one of those rare individuals. This only comes with time. When John was a skinny 20-something year old kid, Larry Davis saw something special in John and invited him to join his band (doing 2 shows his first night with Larry – one for 2,000 people and a second at 2:00am at a club 100 miles away for 10 people, 5 which were the band, on the Chitin Circuit). That was his start...and John has never did anything else except playing the blues for a living.
If you want to hear real Texas blues, without the glitter and turd polishing of modern recording, with the big balls attitude needed for the Lone Star state, put on John McVey. ~Andrew Reed
John McVey has been called "the toughest guitar player in Texas" ~ Real Blues Magazine. As a skinny 20-something year old kid, Larry Davis saw something special in John and invited him to join his band on the Chitin Circuit. This is real blues...
