The Journeymen/Coming Attraction - Live!

The Journeymen's self-titled album/Coming Attraction - Live! is a wild ride through the whimsical world of folk rock. Imagine if Mumford & Sons got lost in a time machine and ended up at a beach party in the 1960s – that's the vibe this dynamic duo brings to the table. From the opening track, "The Journeymen Theme", you know you're in for a treat. The harmonies are tight, the instrumentation is spot on, and the energy is infectious. It's like The Beach Boys meets Fleet Foxes, with a sprinkle of Monty Python absurdity thrown in for good measure. Lead singer and guitarist, Bob "Beardy" Johnson, has a voice that could make angels weep. His soulful crooning on tracks like "Wandering Minstrel" and "Dreaming of You" will transport you to another dimension. Meanwhile, drummer extraordinaire, Ted "Thundersticks" Smith, keeps the beat steady and the energy high throughout the live recording. But it's not all sunshine and rainbows with The Journeymen. Tracks like "The Ballad of the Broken Guitar String" and "Hangover Blues" showcase their darker, more introspective side. It's clear these guys have been through some rough patches, but they've come out the other side stronger and more determined than ever. Overall, The Journeymen's debut album/ live recording is a triumph of talent, tenacity and sheer bloody-mindedness. So grab a pint, sit back, and let The Journeymen take you on a journey you won't soon forget.
