Jimmy McCracklin Rocks CD

Jimmy McCracklin Rocks CD

During more than half a century as a prolific and versatile recording artist, Jimmy McCracklin made a lot of great records - and did more than his share of rocking.
It's the rockin' side of the Bay Area piano pounder’s massive discography that this jam-packed compilation focuses on.
McCracklin storms through his 1958 smash The Walk and plenty more, showing himself to be a highly distinctive artist with a penchant for potential dance crazes, driving rhythms, and intriguing lyrics.
Jimmy‘s mighty combo, The Blues Blasters, was anchored first by guitarist Robert Kelton and then blistering fretsman Lafayette Thomas, whose slashing licks perfectly counterpointed tough horn sections and McCracklin’s boogie-fired 88s.
Rockin’ All Day, The Wobble, Let’s Do It (The Chicken Scratch), Georgia Slop - this superb collection is a non-stop rock and roll party!
