Johnny Copeland came out of the same Houston scene where the mix of blues, swing, and R&B produced fellow singer-guitarists like T- Bone Walker, Albert Collins, Gatemouth Brown, and Joe Hughes. With his gruff southern soul vocals, his elastic sense of phrasing, his fondness for horns and his piercing guitar solos, Copeland made some of the best blues albums of the '80s. Flyin' High is his first on a major label and is everything a blues comeback album should be. It boasts strong original songs, smart horn charts, guest stars who came to work rather than schmooze, and performances that look forward rather than backward. --Geoffrey Himes
