“John Savage releases Self Titled CD produced by George Deveny. With local Upstate NY slide guitarist George Deveny producing, the project includes a veteran upstate New York Musicians including David Olson, Daryl Matteson, Steve Wargo and Frankie Talerico. Frankie’s keys and Deveny’s soulful slide are the perfect compliment for Savage’s acoustic rhythms. Olson and bassist Steve Wargo’s rhythm tracks provide an eclectic backdrop; from swampy grooves to jazzy brushwork, the tracks are guaranteed to please. Topping the charts and stations on MP3.com, the tracks received some favorable comments on the site such as: “… a solid blues tunesmith with a unique twist & intelligence that sets him above that genre…insightful lyrics and a strong resonant vocal” “His vocals are strong and believable, very Van Morrisinish” “interesting and emotional songs you will love hearing in any setting…” “…..The Rag man is destined to become a classic….””

“John L Savage review By kevin.paul@stikmen.com http://StikMen.com Occupation: Producer, Writer, Publisher, Player Location: Chicago, IL, USA Re: Ragman Won't somebody give me a chance to rage a little! This is some great stuff, not so much blues but more Pop. George Deveny delivers some wonderful Cooderish slide that's worth the price of admission. Nice production that reminds me of 60's stuff, tambourine off to the side, open sounding. Don't wanna be your dog Did I hear someone say Clapton? I thought so. Do yourself a favor, check it out yourself. John L Savage makes my top 20! All pro. ”
