Jimmy Thackery
The Essential Jimmy Thackery
(Blind Pig Records BPCD 8008)
Review Date: October 2007
by Ray Stiles
I know it would be hard for me too suggest a song list for a CD called “the essential” so I’m glad Blind Pig did it for me. I may have chosen other songs but this CD offers a good mix songs from nine Blind Pig releases. There’s some of his hard driving “bluesy rock” guitar playing, some swing, some duets and some live cuts. This is a good enough mix as a sampler of his music to tease a new listener and a handy CD for his fans to pop in the player when they are in the Thackery mood. Listening to the CD makes me want to get out some of his other recordings and delve a little deeper into his masterful guitar playing – he has a nice clean tone and just seems to hit each not with absolute clarity – he is one of the best.
The songs on the CD are from these nine albums: Guitar, Wild Night Out, Sideways In Paradise with John Mooney, Switching Gears, Drive To Survive, Empty Arms Motel, Sinner Street and Trouble Man. And features John Mooney, Duke Robillard and Lonnie Brooks.
