John LaMantia, also called Johnny Law, is better known to Macjammers as Boss Hook. (As a kid he was also know as LaMachine because of his “propensity to eat large amounts of food in rapid time.”) John is a lawyer living in the Chicago area, still gigging and recording when he can. His music caught my ear because of its professionalism and sense of fun… (more…)

Three Cat Clem is one of Macjams’ Blues Men, combining traditional blues grit with contemporary rhythms and electric distortions, an old world spirit with a new world edge. He’s one of the few MJers who has played at the real CBGBs (not just the virtual online event). I was first turned on to Three Cat Clem by Fran Dagostino (ziti) when I was gathering tracks for the initial Macjams Blues Podcast.

When did you discover the Blues? (more…)

Spring Clock Wonder: Fantastic
2008 / Ricardo Malti / CDBaby
11 tracks; 38:26 minutes
Reviewed by Tobin Mueller

They have a signature sound, upfront vocals over a cloud of distortion guitars and clean cymbals, with rhythmically interesting drum work and independent bass lines that give a sense of floating rather than grounding.
