Jimmy Rogers 1994 - Blue Bird (2012 HDtracks) [FLAC@96khz24bit]  Jimmy Rogers  Jimmy Rogers Playing Guitar 1991 Wikipedia: Jimmy Rogers (June 3, 1924 – December 19, 1997) was a Chicago blues singer, guitarist and harmonica player, best known for his work as a member of Muddy Waters's band in the early 1950s. He also had solo hits on the R&B chart with "That's All Right" in 1950 and "Walking by Myself" in 1954. He withdrew from the music industry at the end of the 1950s but returned to recording and touring in the 1970s.

Label: APO Records Genre: Blues, Chicago Blues, Electric Chicago Blues Total Time: 57:43 min AllMusic Review by Ken Chang: This was Jimmy Rogers' last "proper" Chicago blues album, and it deservedly won a W.C. Handy Award in 1995. There are no moonlighting rock stars here; they would come out in droves for Rogers' subsequent album Blues Blues Blues. And with the exception of the last track -- which is basically pianist Johnnie Johnson showing off for eight minutes -- Rogers sits squarely in the spotlight for the duration of Blue Bird. As expected, Rogers revisits a fair amount of his earlier repertoire ("Walking By Myself," "I Lost a Good Woman"), but he also digs up several original tunes that he had never gotten around to recording until now. Throw in a few Chicago standards ("Big Boss Man," "Rock Me," "Smokestack Lightning"), and you have a solid, laid-back, and tremendously satisfying album by one of the underrated masters. The backing band is a mix of Chicago blues brethren (Carey Bell on harp, Dave Myers on bass, Ted Harvey on drums) and family (Rogers' son Jimmy D. Lane on lead guitar), plus Johnson, who is perhaps a rock star by association since he played with Chuck Berry for 18 years. This one's a must-have. Hi Fi News & Record Review by Ken Kessler: Analogue Productions is proud to present the definitive album by Jimmy Rogers, one of the three founders of Muddy Water's first and greatest band, and a Chicago blues giant in his own right. Jimmy, whose evocative and earthy guitar sound embodies Chicago Blues, is recognized as a writer of Chicago blues songs second only to Willie Dixon and is regarded as one of the greatest Chicago blues singers by fans and musical legends alike, including Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, who credits Jimmy as being one of his three greatest musical influences along with Muddy Waters and Chuck Berry. As the musical genre Jimmy pioneered is gaining mass popularity in the nineties, Jimmy's classic guitar work has been heard by millions in television commercials featuring songs such as Rock Me by Muddy Waters and I Ain't Superstitious by Howlin' Wolf. Jimmy is joined on this album by an all-star group comprised of the legendary pianist Johnnie Johnson, who was the backbone of all Chuck Berry's greatest hits, harmonica virtuoso Carey Bell, bassist Dave Myers, drummer Ted Harvey and lead guitarist Jimmy D. Lane. This recording won a W.C. Handy Award for the Best Traditional Blues Album in 1995. Fans of Chicago blues aren't going to get any new recordings better than Jimmy Roger's Blue Bird... One of the reasons for the startling impact of this recording is the clear, resonant sound provided on both the LP and CD by Analogue Productions... - Michael Ullman, Stereophile "...this is a real 100% 1950s Chicago blues band and as can be expected the sounds they lay down are vintage and of the highest caliber. Finding a disc with such a pure and powerful Chicago blues on it in 1994 is a major revelation." - Andy Grigg, Westcoast Blues Review "The finest-ever marriage of the blues and audiophile sonics, a bona fide blues session with sound quality, mastered by Doug Sax, never before associated with the genre. It's the most 'analogue-sounding' CD I've ever heard."  01. I'm Tired Of Crying Over You - 3:45 02. Blue Bird - 4:46 03. Walkin' By Myself - 2:30 04. Rock Me - 4:22 05. I Lost A Good Woman - 4:18 06.
