Jimmy Johnson – North / South
Delmark DD 647
Compact Disc
Jimmy Johnson came dramatically to the attention of the blues world with the release of his first American album, Johnson’s Whacks (Delmark 644), in 1979, one of the few albums around that time to project a new and distinctive blues personality. Originally issued in ’82, North/South contained all original compositions reflecting Jimmy’s background in blues, soul, gospel and jazz. Songwriter and blues aficionado Doc Pomus wrote on the original LP, “Individuality is a sign of the great ones. When you hear a bar or two, and you know immediately who’s hitting the notes, you know you’re listening to a master – and that’s how it is when you’re hearing Jimmy Johnson. He’s an incredible blues singer, guitarist and songwriter.”
