For the past several month, I’ve been going to a small BBQ joint in Pharr, Texas, named Johnny’s BBQ. It is on FM 495 just West of Expressway 281, East of Sugar Road in Pharr, Texas.
It started when a friend of mine told me about Wednesday blues night. When I got there, I was thrown back! Real blues. The real deal!
Now my friend knows that I love the blues. I mean the real deal. Too bad I don’t know the greats’ name by heart, or whatever song has been the influence of this powerful music, but that’s cool. Don’t need to.
So long as the music talks to me, I’m cool.
When I first arrived, I was taken back because the music was real. It wasn’t a progressive stunt that nu-age musician’s try to pull.
The “Stevie Ray is the now blues standard” has almost made the genre stagnant. Not at Johnny’s.
Since then, I’ve been jamming there every Saturday and I don’t think I could have been introduced to a better place than Johnny’s.
Go there Wednesdays and Saturdays starting at 8 PM for the best blues you’ll find in South Texas, guaranteed.
