CD Reviews

Sinner is a Winner!
John L. Morgan | Western WY | 06/25/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Top to bottom, this CD is all the proof you need that J Thack is one of the hottest guitarists around. The title track alone is worth the price, with a classic Peter Gunn feel, and Jimmy Carpenter blowing incredible Sax. You want Memphis R&B? You got it. R&R? You Got It. Blues? You definitely got it. Make a note to catch Jimmy Thackery and the Drivers when they blow into town."
Not Bad!

"I am a long time Thackery fan and own all 8 of his CD's. I was hooked after one live performance during which he demonstarted his unequaled mastery of the blues guitar. Next to the originals, his live versions of Red House and Star Spangled Banner are second to none. For that reason, I subscribe to the notion that he is the 100 mile man, meaning that is how far you should drive to see him perform.However, as I soon discovered, a live Thackery performance cannot be mistaken for Memorex. For example, the CD's "Sideways in Paradise" and "That's It" show none of his guitar wizardry while only flashes of brilliance shine through on what is arguably his best CD to date, "Wild Night Out".While this CD is good, it does not measure up to either "Wild Night Out" or a live performance. The CD seems to lack consistency and an overall theme. Instead, it is a collage of popish blues such as "Grab The Rafters", "Bad News" and "Having a Heart" complete with unnecessary doo wop style backup vocals, the funky "Chained to the Blues Line" with James Brown sounding sax, the ZZ Top texas boogie style in "Detroit Iron" and "Million Dollar Bill" to the swinging Roomful of Blues style "Hundreds into Ones"The only three tunes which stand out on this CD and hint at Thackery's capabilities are "Million Dollar Bill", "Sinner Street" and "Blues 'Fore Dawn". All three are good examples of what you might experience at a Thackery show. Buy the CD for variety, but see him LIVE for a real experience."
Not the old Jimmy Thackery

"It's become evident over the last couple albums that Jimmy wants to take his music in other directions.On this album, he's added on a full horn section. Something you never heard in earlier albums like 'Empty Arms Motel' or Trouble Man'. Even though he's still got his great songwriting skills, I feel like his guitar is starting to take a back seat to the arrangments. As a person who owns all of Jimmy's albums, I miss that unique trademark echo-laden guitar sound that spoiled me on his earlier albums. I'm giving this one 3 stars, but keep in mind that a 3 star Jimmy Thackery is better than 90% of all the other bluz-rock out there."
