Welcome to SunHouse Records

                                                        New CD Release:

Johnny Childs, award winning blues guitarist from NYC and star of the winning documentary film The Junkman's Son, has just completed his new acclaimed blues CD Groove - produced by Grammy Award winner and Blues Hall of Famer, Bruce Bromberg.

Groove has it all...quirky lyrics, unconventional delivery, experimental soloing, and interesting use of effects with a traditional structure.  The title track has a surprisingly ethnic sound and the guitar playing contrasts from precise and tasty to almost spastic.

With his unique musical style, Childs is an artist that manages to avoid getting lost in the trap of blues cliché.  He is one of those great contemporary blues talents able to pay tribute to the familiar conventions of the genre without being inhibited by them.  Childs can shred over a 12-bar with the best of them, but is not afraid to explore newer (yet still familiar) territory and ultimately make the blues his own.

Groove carves through many blues styles, leaving them raw and exposed while at the same time giving us a little something different and new to ponder.  From Chicago blues and Texas swing to blues-rock, R&B and even traditional Jewish rhythms, Groove paints a picture of an interesting, complex and talented artist.

All in all, Groove is a very enjoyable album that is full of both an abundance of tastefully executed guitar-work and fun compositions.
