For the Journal (Gannett Newspapers, Statewide Wisconsin)
MOSINEE -- The run of Johnny & The Mo-Tones, a blues group led by Mosinee musician John Altenburgh, continues.
The group's second album, "Get Gone! The Muscle Shoals Sessions," has climbed to No. 15 on the blues chart put out by the Roots Music Report. "Get Gone!" was recorded at Fame Recording Studios in Muscle Shoals, Ala.
That's good news for the group, but there's more. "Two Hits for the Kitty," the group's debut album recorded at Sun Studio in Memphis, Tenn., also re-entered the chart. It's at number 46.
"Two in the charts at the same time -- never imagined that one," Altenburgh said.
The group also will be featured on the nationally syndicated blues radio show "Blues Deluxe" the week of April 22-28. "Time's Tuff," a track from "Get Gone" and "Blues For 'The Killer'" from "Two Hits for the Kitty" will be played. The radio station nearest to Wausau to carry "Blues Deluxe" is WMEQ-FM 92.1, airing at 6 p.m. Sundays. It also can be heard online at www.freeworldradio.com.
"If I thought I could have ever played piano like John Altenburgh, I wouldn't have quit my piano lessons."
Dave Johnson
