Description
Jimmie Vaughan's Grammy Award winning album from 2001 - released on vinyl for the very first time via The Last Music Company.
Recorded in both Memphis and Texas and prominently featuring the amazing Bill Willis on Hammond B-3 (who doubles on bass pedals -- leaving this as one of the few blues albums without an official bassist), Jimmie's more subtle approach leaves lots of spaces to nail a groove that gets deeper as the album progresses. Guests like James Cotton on harp and longtime associate singer Lou Ann Barton (who just about steals the show on the songs where she duets with Vaughan) inject extra spice, but the singer/guitarist has crafted a compelling slice of contemporary blues that blends traditional elements in a distinctive way....Rootsy yet polished tracks like the R&B swamp of "Without You" and the Texas soul of Johnny "Guitar" Watson's "In the Middle of the Night" (featuring Stevie Ray's Double Trouble rhythm section) crackle with taut energy and low-down soul. By forging an individual musical style, Jimmie Vaughan not only avoids all Stevie Ray comparisons, but has produced a remarkable album that truly sounds like no one else." ~ Hal Horowitz, AllMusic.com
Description
Following its release in 2001, this fine album won a Grammy Award for "Best Traditional Blues Album". Twenty years later, it was released on vinyl for the first time in celebration of Jimmie's seventieth birthday and now in 2025, it is available again on CD. At the time of its original release, the album marked the beginning of a new era for Jimmie. The turn of the century and a new love in his life sparked off a period of intense creativity which resulted in these recordings. As Jimmie goes on to tell in the enclosed notes, unfortunately, despite expectations, the record never got the start it deserved because the release date party was booked in Austin on 11th September 2001.
