Review by Rafael Dohms

Shake It is a phenomenal album by Johnny Dyer featuring Rick "LA Holmes" Holmstrom, which is sure to get listeners grooving to the beat. This album is a perfect blend of blues, swing, and rock n' roll, making it an absolute delight for music aficionados.

The album comprises of 12 tracks, each of which showcases the exceptional talent of both Dyer and Holmstrom. The opening track "Shake It" is a foot-tapping number that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The duo's rendition of "Baby Please Don't Go" is a standout track that highlights their ability to infuse their own style into classic blues songs.

The album also features some incredible guitar solos by Holmstrom, which are a treat for the ears. His guitar work on tracks like "Honeydripper" and "Mean Old World" is simply outstanding.

Dyer's vocals are smooth and soulful, and he effortlessly navigates through different genres of music. His rendition of "I'm a Hog for You Baby" is a perfect example of his versatility as a musician.
