Johnny J. Blair
Death, God, Love, & Money (Recordings 1990-2000)
Album US 2011 on Mind's Eye label
Rock and Pop (Art Rock, Indie Rock, Hard Rock, Power Pop)
This is a compilation of demos, singles, EPs and sundry recordings Blair issued independently, prior to his landmark (comeback) album in 2000, FIRE. The 90s found Blair without a label, but he kept creating demos and releasing singles when he wasn't producing other artists (including the 1993 start-up of a long working relationship with Davy Jones and The Monkees). The set is mostly original music interspersed with songs by Barry Alfonso/Dan Rielly, Lennon/McCartney, Jagger/Richard, Michael Nesmith, and Doc Pomus. Special guests include lyricist Barry Alfonso (Pointer Sisters, Olivia Newton-John), John Bechdel (Fear Factory, Gary Numan), Erik Nielsen (Booker T, Queen Ida), and Dan Rielly (Funk Dub Division).
