Bare My Naked Soul is Jesse Johnson's best album of all the four solo albums that he released. This cd had come out in 1996 and the guitar playing is SO AMAZING!

I remember the day I bought it (on cassette) in NYC in late '96. Was sick with the mumps but I HAD to get it

I stole a lot of guitar licks from that album. Thank u, Jesse!!!

I have been playing this since I got home today.
And do you know that some people have nerve to give this 2 stars!!!!!??
I think it is one of his most creative & rocking cd's

Jesse ROCKS!

Best album by prince or anybody remotely related to him in the last 10 years

If I'm correct, he WANTED to do an album like THIS back when he was on A&M Records back in tha day. But they weren't havin' it!!!! Their loss, cuz it is a GEM!!!! I can't wait 4 the new stuff!!!!!

In fact, if Lenny Kravitz had heard this CD, he woulda STOPPED THEN!!!!! Cuz Jesse is tha TRUTH!!!!! CUT 'EM JESSE!!!!!

Let Me In & I Miss

the JAMS

THIS is the album I wanted J.J. to make back in 85 when he first went solo. It took him 10 years to finally shake the "pop syndrome" off his back and rock without truly giving a fuck. I knew he was dedicated to Hendrix from the get but he showed it in spades on this album.

so who played bass on this joint? I don't have copy to read the credits,but I have heard a few tracks.

Jim Anton, Billy Cox and of course Jesse

I only just recently recieved a real copy of this and was reminded it was 10 years go this was released, it's good to see he was still working with Kim Cage and Gabriel Acevedo (DaKrash/Kool Skool), the guitar work was his best to date and there is talk of another album supposedly coming soon, here's an except taken from myspace dated 04 June 2006.....

My name is Gary Taylor. I am 1/2 of Jesse Johnson's management team.
Jesse is aware of this website and would like to convey to all his fans his
heart-felt gratitude for your rememberance and support of him through-out
his absence from the public spot-light. Jesse also wants you to know that he has been feverously working for the past three years on his album which will befinished this summer. His plans are to tour through-out the world beginning this fall....

indeed - I will believe it when I see it. I saw Jesse live in 1985 or 1986 when he was touring to support his first solo album. Bare My Naked Soul is a classic and I still play it.

I'd have to agree.

Up until a few months ago, I played Bare My Naked Soul daily for about 1 year. The solos sound so damn good. I was looking so forward to seeing him live back in 1996...then there was silence.

When it came out, I listened to it for months. Definitely a great album. It totally rocks.

Has it really been 10 years already?
