Johnny Iguana played on albums with Buddy Guy, Johnny Winter, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and James Cotton before releasing his acclaimed 2020 Delmark debut: the kaleidoscopic full-band experience Johnny Iguana's Chicago Spectacular!

This bold follow-up is a solo acoustic affair, performed on Delmark's 1917 Steinway B piano. A new chapter in the story of the venerable label's solo piano albums, Johnny Iguana at Delmark was recorded in unedited single takes, straight to analog tape. Junior Wells, who recorded with Johnny's piano hero Otis Spann on the Delmark classic Southside Blues Jam and who brought Johnny from New York to Chicago to join the Junior Wells Blues Band in 1994, would be thrilled by this album.

Johnny's formidable chops, deep blues knowledge and wide-ranging creativity are on full display across this set of original compositions plus Johnny's spins on everything from Little Brother Montgomery and Jay McShann to AC/DC and Neil Young—not to mention fresh takes on classics by Delmark icons Junior Wells and Magic Sam. This is an exuberant, passionate, powerhouse outing…enjoy!

** It is standard practice in all recording studios to keep the tape "tail out". This reduces "pre-echo" and it means that the tape should be placed on the right hand side of the recorder, re-wound and then played.
