Johnny Rivers

Any fans out there? I got the Anthology album in the mail yesterday. Great tunes.

[reb]

yeah I always thought he was :cool: I have his 1973 BlueSuede Shoes album. He does a classic "Willie and the hand jive" on it and Curtis Mayfields "It's All Right" to name a couple.

Did he ever have any of his own music?

[reb]

Yeah, he became a famous for Secret Agent Man. Hendrix made his" Hey Joe" famous.

I did a thing in a band on the same bill with Rivers one time.
He's got his personal act together; but, I swear, he took 10
minutes between tunes. [I guess there's no rushing perfection.:D ]

Did he do 'Lookin for Love'?
