Minnesota's Spider John Koerner had a sound remarkably similar to the ragtime-blues of his '60's prime. Telling corny jokes, shouting timeless lyrics, stomping out an infectious beat, Koerner was a juggernaut of joy.
Some artists have a built in cool factor that can be seen in their influence on others.
As one of folk and blues' greatest innovators he got the blues revival of the '60's going and has kept it going strong ever since. On StarGeezer, Koerner retains the elements that have made him the legend that he is. With philosophical and witty originals and wild turns on classical songs, Koerner will set your ears into a frenzy with his original guitar styling and insightful phrasings. They broke the mold. This hoary Minneapolis singer-guitarist, who purportedly influenced everyone from Bob Dylan to Bonnie Raitt, skipped stardom on his way to becoming a hero.
