Format: MP3 @ 320 K
Richard Johnston's "Foot Hill Stomp," is a barefoot rompin' stompin' rhythmic journey through the Hill Country of North Mississippi and the credits read like a "Who's Who" of local legends. Richard definitely has his pulse on the primal locomotive energy and ragged guttural country drive of the music and it explodes off the tracks like a thunderous train. Richard 's excellent vocals are blended with his versatile musicianship as he integrates his own musical influences with those from the Hill Country. Among the instruments he plays are the foot drums, the resonator guitar with his own built in electric scratch plate, the washboard, a bass guitar, a regular guitar, and a Lowe Bow - Hill Harp. The inventor of the Lowe Bow brand, John Lowe, and Richard Johnston designed the Lowe Bow - Hill Harp. The Hill Harp is this particular model's name and is a diddley-bow type stringed instrument that looks like two broomsticks sticking out of a cigar box. One neck has a bass string and the other neck has three strings for a fretless bass/baritone guitar. Each neck has it's own pickup with the bass neck plugged into a bass amp and the other neck into a guitar amp.
His years as a North Mississippi Hill Country blues journeyman and Beale Street performer have paid off and he has now caught up with himself as is evidenced here on "Foot Hill Stomp."

Recorded at Webb Studios, Memphis, Tennessee.
