Description
Jim Byrnesâ€™ 4th album for Black Hen Music, finds Jim collaborating once again with
producer Steve Dawson. Jim and Steve have worked together on all of his awardwinning
albums in the last decade.
> Jimâ€™s bluesiest album in years. â€œEverywhere Westâ€? includes raw and stripped-down
takes on classic material and some originals by Jim himself. While Jim has been
focussing on gospel-oriented blues for his last 2 albums (the Juno Award-winning
â€œHouse of Refugeâ€? and 2008â€™s â€œMy Walking Stickâ€?), â€œEverywhere Westâ€? brings him
back to the music of his youth, with some of the greatest performances of his career on
songs by Jimmy Reed, Lowell Folsom, The Mississippi Sheiks, Tampa Red and
many more.
> â€œEverywhere Westâ€? was recorded live off the floor with minimal overdubs. Featuring
Jimâ€™s band of the last 6 years: Steve Dawson on guitars, Keith Lowe on bass, and
Geoff Hicks on drums. With the addition of Chris Gestrin on piano, Keith Bennett on
harmonica, and Jeanne Tolmie on vocals, this is a blues-lovers dream!
> Jim and Steveâ€™s collaborations have resulted in 3 Juno Nominations, 1 Juno Award,
as well as many awards at the Western Canadian Music Awards, The Canadian
Indie Awards, The Maple Blues Awards, and the Canadian Folk Music Awards.
> Jim and his band perform 100 or more dates across Canada and internationally every
year and will be on tour starting in October in Europe, followed by western Canadian
dates in November.
> Jim Byrnes is one of Canadaâ€™s best known and loved Blues artists, and is also a wellknown
stage and screen actor, with recurring roles on TV shows like and many more.
