Jimmy Johnson - North/South [1982 /1999] ... rediscovered!!


“Individuality is a sign of the great ones. When you hear a bar or two, and you know immediately who’s hitting the notes, you know you’re listening to a master – and that’s how it is when you’re hearing Jimmy Johnson. He’s an incredible blues singer, guitarist and songwriter.”

When you read what Doc Pomus wrote on the original LP, all you have to do is to press play and enjoy the music.

Originally issued in ’82 and reissued on CD in 1999, nearly 20 years after its initial release, Jimmy Johnson's North/South worth the wait for fans of electric Chicago blues with soul and rock influences. North/South contained all original compositions reflecting Jimmy’s background in blues, soul, gospel and jazz. [Delmark Records]
