Synopsis

Album Description

Blues guitar master Jimmy Thackery teams up with fellow Arkansans, the legendary Cate Brothers, to celebrate their beloved home on In The Natural State. Infused with a sharp, crackling blues energy matched by the Cates? innate feel for down-home rhythm and blues, In The Natural State is a guitar lover?s dream - complete with the fiery solos and stringbending blues-rock only Jimmy Thackery can deliver. Thackery?s first album recorded in Arkansas, In The Natural State isn?t just the name of an album or an allusion to a geographical place; it?s a way of being. "I put all my senses on hold and find the zone and follow what's inside. There's an electricity from your mind to your heart to your fingers. You just try and remember to breathe." - Jimmy Thackery' "A musical masterpiece!" - Mike Huckabee, Governor of Arkansas

CD Reviews

A Major Disappointment

blueshound327 | 07/07/2006

(1 out of 5 stars)

"This one is a real disappointment. I was a little suspicious before buying it after I read it was recorded in four days. I think this album is a prime example of what is wrong with the blues music industry these days, that being guys like Jimmy Thackery who go into a studio for a few days and throw together a set of poorly written clichéd blues songs, and then package it up with some press releases to make it appear like it's a "can't miss" release. There is absolutely nothing new or inspiring on this thing. What makes it even worse is Jimmy's brought in two of the best songwriters to ever grace this planet (The Cate Brothers) and given them back up roles, taking very little advantage of their talents. Jimmy Thackery is a very gifted and talented blues guitarist who gives his all at his live shows. He has established a reputation over the years as one of the heavyweights of the blues music industry. If he keeps releasing products like this, that reputation will eventually be eroded to the level of being one of thousands of blues artists who produce and release average run-of-the mill blues recordings. Don't waste your money on this one."

Another great Thackery release!

"Teaming up the Cate brothers and Jimmy Thackery was a brilliant idea. This disc is a true feast for guitar fans. All of the musicians really cook here, and since it was recorded live in the studio it has a nice raggedy feel to it. True, there is nothing original here, but these guys infuse these songs with their own unique styles. Pay no attention to any negative reviews, this one's a winner!

P.S. I never buy a CD until I listen to soundbites either on line or in a store. This way I'm never disappointed."

Terrific tunes all the way through

"I saw this group not too long ago and was instantly impressed.I have all of their CD's and I admit I was initially hesitant to purchase this one, but well, I thought, I love the other ones, how can I go wrong.The ripping, pulling you into every song was apparent from the onstart. The versatility so appreciated.I am sincerely moved by the song, Levee Prayer, lest anyone forget what hurricanes can do!I sincerely believe that you just would not be disappointed in any way. A true great set of tunes.Go for it,you'll definitely be glad you did. When I have that moment of,'what do I listen to'I grab 'In A Natural State' and am always glad I did."
