One might do well to judge Justin Conn by those who surround him. In the 6 short years he’s spent in Music City, he’s formed a musical family that includes former Allman Bros. member Johnny Neel, Stax legend Wayne Jackson of the Memphis Horns, and Soul great Charles “Wigg†Walker. His debut record, New Blood, has been praised as evidence that Justin is the “’new blood’ of the younger generation!†(Music City Blues Society, 2007), and his prolific writing has garnered much attention for its originality and powerful honesty, while never losing touch with Justin’s Memphis heritage.
