Synopsis

Album Description

Shortly after departing the popular Washington DC area blues band The Nighthawks, of which he was a founding member, Jimmy Thackery re-emerged with the power trio Jimmy Thackery & The Drivers in order to put the spotlight firmly on his aggressive and distinctive blues rock guitar style. These selections from Thackery's Blind Pig years represent what many fans and critics alike consider to be his most vibrant and creative period to date. Special guests include Lonnie Brooks, Duke Robillard, John Mooney and Reba Russell.

CD Reviews

Superlative Guitar Work!

K. Keyes | Longmont, CO | 02/14/2006

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I've been a big Jimmy Thackery fan for years. I've seen him live. He is truly a master of his instrument. Please don't shun this for a 4 star rating. That's only because his vocal abilities are rather limited. It's bearable but his guitar work more than makes up for utilitarian vocals. If you are a blues/rock fan and/or play guitar and do not own any of his other works, you MUST have this CD in your collection. His tone, tremelo, delay, octave effect, wah, all used with mastery. I would go so far as to say he's THE Jimi Hendrix incarnate. Which is the highest compliment anyone could bestow."

Good songs and guitar

"this is a nice collection of jimmys better stuff, it's has everything from a country blues edge to a hard rock edge, my favorites are detroit iron and its my own fault with the wonderful lonnie brooks doing the vocals and doing them well."

Great driving music.

"Bought this yesterday and have listened to all the songs. While Jimmy doesn't have the best voice in the world, it's not bad and his guitar more than makes up for it. This cd is perfect to listen to while driving. I especially like JIMMY'S DETROIT BOOGIE. The sound quality is very good on the live tracks too."
