   The new release, Let There Be Drums! from brand new Gulf Coast recording   
   project Johnny John and the Schemin' Dreamers proudly goes against the music   
   trends of modernity.   
      
   The brainchild of drummer Johnny Harrelson, featuring Florida guitarist Joe   
   Pizzolato, bassist Adrian Howland, keyboardist Cody Collum and veteran   
   Organist Red Young (Eric Burdon, Linda Ronstadt, Freddy Fender); Engineered by   
   Rick Hirsch (Wet Willie,    
   Greg Allman, Bonnie Bramlett), Mixed and Mastered by Jack Miele (Blues   
   Traveler, John Oates); Let There Be Drums! is an exhibition of progressive   
   musicianship.   
      
   Fans of Gary Moore, Cozy Powell, Frank Marino, and Jeff Beck will certainly   
   enjoy this record.   
      
   The burning question for such a release is why? Drummer-Producer Johnny   
   Harrelson states that:   
      
   "Initially I wanted to put something out that said this kind of music is still   
   viable and worth doing. I wanted this to be a testament to the musicianship of   
   the era.   
      
   Yet, there are many other reasons too. It was worth letting everyone know that   
   there are some good young players here on the Alabama/Florida Gulf Coast. We   
   were very privileged to have Rick Hirsch agree to engineer it. His insights   
   from the era we    
   touched on were primary. He is a primary source! We were very excited to work   
   with him.   
      
   I also wanted to reach an under-served audience. We still hear songs like Led   
   Boots on the radio; so there are still folks out there who like this music.   
   This release has a lot to with the reverence and respect for the guys who made   
   this music famous. If    
   a few guys in their 20s and 30s can bring it to a grassroots audience, so much   
   the better. That's how things get started. We need more musicians making music   
   like this.   
      
   Most importantly, this is my first release and I wanted to begin with what I   
   know best. Playing the drums."   
      
      
   Let There Be Drums! is available on all music platforms and on 10" vinyl.
