Johnny Delaware has made a wanderer’s album. Traveling was a muse in his latest release,Para Llevar, the kind of album that’s ripe for listening as the sun is coming up while you are moving either blasting down a highway, riding the rails. or flying through the air to your destination. This is Singer/Songwriter Folk with World Beat underpinnings, and a Psychedelic vibe Johnny Delaware creates a score for movement, and all the roller coaster emotions adventures paste like stickers on your psyche.
There’s a Gordon Lightfoot feel to Para Llever, ever-present from the get-go in album opener “Jungle Full of Ghosts”; the instrumentation hushed in points as it rises and drifts over the arrangement, his vocals uttered just above a whisper. “Running” delivers that traveling troubadour vibe complete with the sound of a car turning over and the lyrics reminding the listener of motion. “Stubborn Faith” has jam-band guitar riffs in a Western Gospel cut, “Incognita” is a fantastic instrumental that should score your travels through Central and South America while “Never Let Go” is a front-porch picker of a love song delivered with a click-clack locomotive rhythm and layered, but hushed, harmonies. 
The wandering-storyteller in Johnny Delaware couldn’t be more present than in the album closer of “Mexico City Blues” as he drops visual lyrics of places and scenarios from this Mexican metropolis. This is old-school Folk Rock music via on the road narratives that are reminiscent of Beat poets, real life tales written into song, a score for your own personal adventures.  (by Bryant Liggett)
