  • Description

    Bread fans might know him better as James Griffin, but back in 1963 Jimmy Griffin was one of the up-and-com- ers on the artist roster of Frank Sinatra's Reprise label. So up and coming, in fact, that the label's newly-hired head of A&R, Jimmy Bowen, elected to produce his debut record himself and bring in Jack Nitzsche to arrange. The result was one of those great, early-'60s productions that was a little bit pop, a little bit coun-try and a little bit rock, with backing by the vaunted Wrecking Crew of Leon Russell, Hal Blaine, Glen Campbell et al. (Campbell contributes a couple of tunes to the album). Amazingly, Summer Holiday makes its CD debut here, augmented by all of Jimmy's non-LP Reprise singles, with notes by musician friend Brian Gari and photos. Classic pop from the future Bread singing/songwriting stal- wart!
