Analogue Productions is proud to present the definitive album by Jimmy Rogers, one of the three founders of Muddy Water’s first and greatest band, and a Chicago blues giant in his own right.
Jimmy, whose evocative and earthy guitar sound embodies Chicago Blues, is recognized as a writer of Chicago blues songs second only to Willie Dixon and is regarded as one of the greatest Chicago blues singers by fans and musical legends alike, including Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, who credits Jimmy as being one of his three greatest musical influences along with Muddy Waters and Chuck Berry.
As the musical genre Jimmy pioneered is gaining mass popularity in the nineties, Jimmy’s classic guitar work has been heard by millions in television commercials featuring songs such as Rock Me by Muddy Waters and I Ain’t Superstitiousby Howlin’ Wolf.
Jimmy is joined on this album by an all-star group comprised of the legendary pianist Johnnie Johnson, who was the backbone of all Chuck Berry’s greatest hits, harmonica virtuoso Carey Bell, bassist Dave Myers, drummer Ted Harvey and lead guitarist Jimmy D.
