Jimmy plays the blues clean through his amplifier with a swinging sensibility, yet he can also go deep into the soul with stinging sounds and ferocious slide guitar. Always gritty, soulful, and sweet, this Pittsburgh based blues guitarist has become a respected musician in and around the area, yet has expanded his journey where he continues to make new fans and friends along the way.
Jimmy traveled to California to record Grease Alley with the award winning, musical visionary, Kid Andersen at Greaseland Studios. This latest recording features Kid producing and playing both upright and electric bass, as well as drummer extraordinaire June Core, legendary keyboardist Jim Pugh, and superb sax man Eric Spaulding. In addition, Jimmy was honored to have the creative genius of Chris Cain appear on two songs. The end result is a record steeped in the blues tradition where Jimmy surrounds himself with masters of the genre and creates all original songs that are played in a variety of styles ranging from swampy to swing. The themes explored include pleasure, pain, and purpose.
Kid Andersen’s Greaseland Studio is a magical place. I had the opportunity to spend some time there in August 2015 making a record. I’ve always been drawn to the sound of the West Coast guitar players, from T Bone Walker, through all of the great guitarists who performed in William Clarke’s band as well as the masterful Charlie Baty. The traditional sound of a clean, unadulterated swinging guitar plugged straight into a tube amplifier sans effects speaks to me and inspires my playing.
Kid Andersen had the courage to leave his home in Norway when he was 21 years old and relocate to the West Coast so that he could be close to the West Coast players. He has earned a premier spot, playing guitar with Rick Estrin and the Nightcats, having taken over the position once held by the phenomenal Charlie Baty. Kid’s dedication to authenticity runs deep and this was obvious upon setting foot into his Greaseland Studio as I made my way past the vast array of guitars, vintage amps and assorted musical instruments. I asked Kid Andersen to produce this recording because I believe that he has an amazing ear and he could help extract the sounds in my head and capture them in the studio. Although Kid is a formidable guitarist, he played thoughtfully crafted and nuanced bass lines on this recording.
This recording contains all original songs played in a variety of blues styles ranging from swampy to swing. The themes explored include pleasure, pain and purpose. It was an honor to spend time and record with all of these great musicians. The end result is a recording that captures a very special moment in time. I hope that people will enjoy listening to it even half as much as we did creating it!
