Black Oak Arkansas Remembered,
An Analysis of the Southern Rock and Roll Band Black Oak Arkansas (Studies in the History and Interpretation of Music, Vol 51),
About me:
Johnnie Bolin is a self-taught drummer, who has been refining his art for the past 30 years. Growing up in the heart of the Midwest, where a basement was found in every home, gave him a place to play at any given opportunity, and is still known to sit in with bands all over the Midwest. you could say he's played everything from Motown to Metal, and then some! He is basically a funky drummer at heart, with an emphasis on Rock and Fusion.
His personal view about drumming in this day and age is to perform in a pleasing variety of musical styles, and at the same time be persistent. Johnnie always keeps his attitude positive and never loses sight of his goals.
The diversity of influences and artists such as, Buddy Rich, Ian Paice, Narada Michael Walden, Billy Cobham, and Charlie Watts have helped Johnnie to maintain a balanced approach to drumming. Johnnie has played with acts, Sugar Cane Harris, Tommy Bolin Band, Richard T Bear, D.V.C., Dare Force, Chill Factor, and is currently touring and recording with Jim Dandy and Black Oak Arkansas, who he also played with during the late 80's.
As Vice President of the Tommy Bolin Archives, Inc. and President of the The Bolin Foundation, he is involved in projects releasing his brother, Tommy Bolin's unreleased material and sponsoring tribute concerts and festivals.
