Volume One

The Atomic 44'S new release "VOL.1" is the latest collaboration from two legendary musical powerhouses; Eric Von Herzen, harmonica man for Walter Trout, Social Distortion, The Atomic Road Kings, Junior Watson; and Johnny Main, vocalist and guitarist for The 44's. In 2020, these two seasoned musical veterans came together to form the Atomic 44's, and to create Americana/roots music that blazes a new trail in the genre. This set of 9 all-original jet-fueled tracks tells a story, paying homage to the traditional while keeping a clear focus on the future. Main and Von Herzen's tone, touch and feel on guitar and harp, coupled with Main's raw and captivating vocals, provide the perfect vehicle for their edgy contemporary lyrics and arrangements. The opening track, "The Boogeyman, " was voted #1 in just eight weeks on the Roadhouse Blues & Boogie Chart! The record features an impressive list of Americana/Roots luminaries: David "Kid" Ramos, Bill Stuve, Taryn Donath, Deb Ryder, Gary Ferguson and Jim Pugh. This record delivers on all fronts and is a must-have in every true music lover's collection.
