Cat. No. BCD 17552: JIMMY McCRACKLIN ~ ROCKS. BEAR FAMILY BCD 17552. (IMPORT).

THE STORY OF JIMMY McCRACKLIN’S CAREER IS FAR TOO VAST TO PRESENT HERE, HOWEVER, IT IS FASCINATING TO SAY THE LEAST AND CAN BE FOUND IN THE 32-PAGE BOOKLET ACCOMPANYING THIS CD. JIMMY ONCE SAID, “I DON’T SOUND LIKE NOBODY BUT ME. BUT THAT MAKES IT GOOD FOR ME. I DON’T WANT TO SOUND LIKE NOBODY ELSE. I DON’T TRY TO TRY TO MAKE BELIEVE. I JUST COME FROM DOWN INSIDE.” NOT ONLY WAS THAT TRUE WHEN THE LATE PIANO POUNDER DELIVERED A LOWDOWN BLUES, IT WAS ALSO THE CASE WHEN HE ROCKED – SOMETHING HE DID A WHOLE LOT OF OVER THE COURSE OF HIS EXTRAORDINARILY LONG AND PROLIFIC CAREER. BEAR FAMILY HAS DONE A MAGNIFICENT JOB IN TRACKING THE HISTORY OF THE INCREDIBLE ARTIST AND PRESENTING THESE 30 GREAT ROCKING RHYTHM AND BLUES TRACKS BORDERING ON ROCK’N’ROLL LONG BEFORE ROCK’N’ROLL WAS THE ‘CATCH-CRY’. SUPERB ROCKING RHYTHM AND BLUES. ABSOLUTELY ROCKS ******
