简介
The digital only edition re-release of this Johnny Boots "All or Nothing" CD contains a bonus track. "Heroes" by David Bowie and Brian Eno. I have been influenced by the music of David Bowie since my teenage years. He was the primary force that made me interested in performing in the first place. "Heroes" is only available in this digital format as a single track or as a bonus when purchasing the complete album. Musicians on the track include myself, Paul Opalach, Darro Sandler and on back-up vocals, Christine Parisella. It was recorded at Long Hill Recording Studio, Shelton, CT and Mastered by Micheal Louis, Brooklyn, NY. Johnny recorded this record with his producer Paul Opalach, owner of Long Hill Recording Studios in Shelton, CT. Paul's credits include work with Debbie Davies, Matt Rae & Paul Gabriel amongst a host of others. John Giannicchi, “Johnny Boots” – Guitars, Lead & Background Vocals, Peter Bennett – Bass, Darro “Sparkie” Sandler - Drums, Paul Opalach – Bass, Keyboards and percussion (various tracks), Thom Gilbert – Drums (Tracks 10 & 11), Stacey Williams-Snyder – Vocals (Tracks 2,6 & 7), Les Julian – Backing vocals (Track 12) Johnny was fortunate to have special guest harmonica great, Hook Herrera on tracks 3, 5, 9, & 10.

They’re fine musicians in fine form, and they’re clearly having a blast, which means there’s an excellent chance that you will too." - Eric R. Danton, Hartford Courant (Jan 26, 2012) “Johnny “Boots” Giannicchi is the real deal: a fabulous blues- rock guitarist and singer who has gigged and worked hard to get where he is today. Besides these roles, this Connecticut gentleman is also the band leader and producer of his latest release, All or Nothing. This CD is a blues-rock juggernaut that includes nine original tracks and four well-chosen covers. There is a definite Stevie Ray Vaughan vibe to this work, with occasional forays in the directions of delta blues and country. All or Nothing is a slickly-produced CD with plentiful guitar chops and thirteen very listenable tracks that provide almost an hour of musical entertainment. It is a great follow-up to Johnny Boots’ previous release, Everybody’s Got to Eat, and any fan of blues or rock will find something to like on this one. I recommend that you give it a listen; you will certainly get your money’s worth!” - Rex Bartholomew, Blues Blast Magazine (Oct 18, 2012) “Johnny Boots 'All Or Nothing' is a seriously well performed album with cutting edge guitar work. Johnny's lyrics bring you straight to the scene of the crime!! Well written, well played gutsy, bold and full of life. I really, really like this band and their new album 'All Or Nothing'! Stick that in your fuse box!!!” - Sonny Rock, WRIP 97.9 FM & 97.5 FM (Dec 14, 2011)
