Jimmy Johnson - 1979 - Johnson's Whacks (1993 Reissue) [mp3@320]  Jimmy Johnson  Jimmy Johnson in 2015 Wikipedia: Jimmy Johnson (born James Earl Thompson, November 25, 1928) is an American blues guitarist Johnson was born in Holly Springs, Mississippi. Several of his brothers had careers in music, among them the soul musician Syl Johnson and the bassist Mack Thompson, who played with Magic Sam. In his younger years he played piano and sang in gospel groups. He and his family moved to Chicago in 1950, where he worked as a welder and played guitar in his spare time. He began playing professionally with Slim Willis in 1959, changing his last name to Johnson, as did his brother Syl. As a guitarist he was influenced by Buddy Guy and Otis Rush. He played with Freddy King, Albert King, Magic Sam, Otis Rush, and Eddy Clearwater, among others. His first solo albums appeared on MCM Blues Records in 1978 and Delmark Records in 1979, when he was fifty years old. He was an award-winner at the first Blues Music Awards, held in Memphis in November 1980. His career continued to pick up until December 2, 1988, when his touring van crashed in Indiana, killing his band's keyboardist, St. James Bryant, and bassist, Larry Exum. Johnson was injured and took an extended break from the music industry. He returned to record for Verve Records in 1994. In 2002, he recorded with his brother Syl. He remained active and toured Europe in 2009, performing in the UK and at the Copenhagen Blues Festival in Denmark. He collaborated in 2014 on Beyond Any Form, an album of Persian traditional music. Johnson's Whacks  Artist: Jimmy Johnson Title: Johnson's Whacks Producer: Jimmy Johnson, Steve Thomashefsky, Steve Wagner Release Date: 1979, (June 10, 1993) Label: Delmark Records Catalog: DD-644 ASIN: B000004BJR Genre: Blues, Chicago Blues, Electric Chicago Blues Duration: 40:50 delmark.com review by Steve Tomashefsky: When Jimmy Johnson's first album, Johnson's Whacks hit the streets at the end of the seventies, he was heralded as being part of a new blues generation that could actually write fully-realized, mature Songs (as opposed to borrowing or stealing jukebox standards). Delmark even printed a lyric sheet for that LP, a first in blues cover art! AllMusic Review by Bill Dahl: Uncommon wit runs through the lyrics of this varied set, certainly one of the more intriguing Chicago blues albums of the late '70s. Johnson's high-pitched vocals are particularly soulful on the impassioned "I Need Some Easy Money" and "Ashes in My Ashtray," while "The Twelve Bar Blues" and "Poor Boy's Dream" are upbeat entries that don't sound as comfortable for the guitarist. Johnson gets away with a honky-tonk reprise of Ernest Tubb's country classic "Drivin' Nails in My Coffin," but his rehash of Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" should have stayed on the bandstand.  01.
