Bio / Background
JOHN "JUKE" LOGAN has, on multiple occasions over the past two decades, been the harmonica-player-of-choice for RY COODER, LOS LOBOS, ETTA JAMES, BO DIDDLEY, JOHN LEE HOOKER, LUCINDA WILLIAMS, DAVE ALVIN, LEON RUSSELL, films such as "CROSSROADS" (the Walter Hill feature about the blues) & "MIDNIGHT RUN", & TV shows such as "ROSEANNE" & "HOME IMPROVEMENT" & many others.
LOGAN'S original compositions have been covered by many, recorded by the likes of JOHN MAYALL, The PALADINS & GARY PRIMICH, used by film & TV & honored with commentary like: "he's the Willie Dixon of the 90's & beyond... just listen to the lyrics" (-"Squrl", KMCQ Oregon). Juke's radio show (with co-host Ellen bloom), The FRIDAY NIGHT BLUES BEVUE, ran for 8 years on KPCC & was one of Southern California's most popular public radio roots-music programs.

JUKE'S previous two albums, The CHILL (Razor & Tie, '92), & JUKE RHYTHM (Mocombo, '98) (both released in Europe on Virgin) were called "groove-filled blasts" (-Album Network),and were comprised entirely of his original songs, & prompted observations like, "Logan's pushing off in directions where few in blues have gone... makes the term 'multi-cultural', as it applies to blues, seem not only possible, but logical... the right kind of adventure for these dull times." (- BLUES REVUE)
About his latest endeavor "THE TRUTH WILL ROCK YOU", JUKE states:
"I cut this one in AUSTIN, TEXAS, a musical home-away-from-home, blessed with a cast of some of the monsterous players & singers that reside there... each a MUSICAL GIANT. It was a long-time dream-realized to do this. In making this music, they helped me rediscover some roots I hadn't visited in awhile, & also push-off into some new places I haven't visited until now. They all climbed into the character of each song & BROUGHT IT immensely... I finished it off at my LA-studio-home of Pacifica Studios, with amazing group of my "LEFT-COAST"-based musical partners adding their signature-touches..."
