When blues legend James Montgomery plays the harmonica, he "brings it on home". Whether it's recording with Kid Rock, sitting in with Gregg Allman, or fronting his hot band of thirty years, Montgomery plays with authority. While growing up in Detroit he learned first-hand from the masters - James Cotton, John Lee Hooker, and Jr. Wells - at the legendary "Chessmate."

Quotes

  • Nature's prime favourites were the Pelicans;High-fed, long-lived, and sociable and free.
  • Nimbly they seized and secreted their prey,Alive and wriggling in the elastic net,Which Nature hung beneath their grasping beaks;Till, swoln with captures, the unwieldy burdenClogg'd their slow flight, as heavily to land,These mighty hunters of the deep return'd.There on the cragged cliffs they perch'd at ease,Gorging their hapless victims one by one;Then full and weary, side by side, they slept,Till evening roused them to the chase again.
  • The nursery of brooding Pelicans,The dormitory of their dead, had vanish'd,And all the minor spots of rock and verdure,The abodes of happy millions, were no more.
  • Hymns should have unity,graduation and mutual dependence in the thoughts,a conscious progress,a sense of completeness..and be easily understood.
  • When to the cross I turn my eyes,And rest on Calvary,O Lamb of God, my sacrifice,I must remember Thee.
  • Baptize the nations! far and nigh,The triumphs of the cross recordThe name of Jesus glorify,Till every people call Him Lord.
