Meet Me in Bluesland is a 2015 album by American southern rock band The Kentucky Headhunters and blues musician Johnnie Johnson. Recorded in 2003 during the sessions for the Kentucky Headhunters' 2003 album Soul , it was not released until 2015, ten years after Johnson's death.
The Kentucky Headhunters had planned to include Johnson on their 2003 album Soul ; in the process of recording, the band created multiple songs with Johnson spontaneously. The recordings were not initially planned to be released, due to their nature. [1] The album is the band's second collaboration with Johnson, the first being 1993's That'll Work . Included on the album are a re-recording of "Stumblin'" from that album, along with a cover of Chuck Berry's "Little Queenie". [2]
Grant Britt of No Depression reviewed the album positively, comparing the sound favorably to that of Chuck Berry while praising Doug Phelps's lead vocals. [3]
All tracks written by The Kentucky Headhunters (Anthony Kenney, Greg Martin, Doug Phelps, Fred Young, Richard Young) and Johnnie Johnson, except as noted.
