Description
Always one of the most interesting and creative Chicago bluesmen, Jimmy Dawkins rose to notice as part of the, then, newest generation of Chicago guitarists like Magic Sam, Buddy Guy and Otis Rush - with his stinging, emotion-laden guitar he was at least their equal. He is a serious blues artist who doesn't go in for crowd-pleasing histrionics. He excels in the recording studio where he is always focused, disciplined and supremely creative.
Here, Jimmy plays tough and intensive guitar and allows himself just enough latitude to cut loose without descending into meandering. Also here are prime examples of his superb songwriting.
And then there is his superb band. With completely remixed and remastered sound they have never sounded better.
