John’s Blues Picks April 2017 – Chris Antonik

Published April 1, 2017 in John's Blues Picks, News

Chris Antonik’s third album was born in the crucible of divorce, a fact that colours all the songs here. We also have an explosive blues-rock album, complete with horn section, strings and chorus. With the help of some high-powered help behind the glass, we have a gorgeously recorded production. “(Between) The Monarch and the Wrecking Ball (We’ll Find A Way)” lends the album its title.
