My Review of: Jimmy Liggins & His Drops Of Joy: Specialty

Scott Waggoner | Illinois | 06/21/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is one of the quintessential jump bands of all time! There are at least, to my recollection at this time 400+ bands in the USA who are playing "I ain't Drunk", a Jimmy Liggins original. Ask Sumpter Bruton about Jimmy. He played the Continental with T-Bone and Charlie Christian & a host of others. The Skyliners(to become "the band") are Sumpter's roots. If he doesn't know nobody does!"

Great CD

"Another great singer from the "hoy hoy" era of music (1946-1953).



You can't go wrong if you love classic R&B. (that's nothing like the stuff today that is considered R&B). Or if you love jump blues, this CD is for you."
