Description
Born in Dublin, Mississippi in 1943, Jimmy Burns derived his earliest inspiration from the records of Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker and others. After Jimmy moved to Chicago in the mid-'50 's he discovered a scene that was perfect for the meld of traditional Blues, churchy emotionalism, and forward-looking Pop/R&B sophistication that by then comprised his musical aesthetic. When he finally signed with Delmark in the mid-'90 's, he was primed and ready to take his place as a leading blues recording artist. Live at B.L.U.E.S. captures perfectly the indelible combination of joyful spirits, warm-hearted intimacy, and sharp-witted intelligence that characterizes Jimmy Burns, as both a musician and a man. With special guest vocalist Jesse Fortune.
