Described as "Hard street spreachin’ soul blues collides with psychedelic swamp funk and evoking the spirits of Otis Redding, Captain Beefheart and Blind Lemon Jefferson", this is a band with a wide musical canvas, but with a warped magnificent angular sense of the blues at the core!

Featuring the Pentacostal rants, low down lyrical sleaze and Howlin Wolf style vocals of the original ‘Cadillac King of harp players’, Jimmie Wood, The Imperial Crown are a compelling mix of dirt driven blues with a funky undertow topped by Jimmie’s outrageous Hollywood B movie imagination & firebrand blues preaching.
