5.0 out of 5 stars FINE TRIBUTE TO AN OVERLOOKED ARTIST!, June 28, 2002

Thackery's latest release is a tribute CD of sorts to the late Eddie Hinton whose songs, 8 of 11, are covered by Thackery. Hinton, who has been called the white Otis Redding, has composed R&B hits for Aretha Franklin, Percy Sledge, Wilson Pickett and the Staple Singers and has performed with the Allman Brothers in addition to releasing four solo CD's. The title of Thackery's CD, like some of the other songs contained here, comes from a song on Hinton's 1978 release "Very Extremely Dangerous". Other songs on this release can be found on import copies of "Dear Y' All" and "Letters From Mississippi". Thackery's guitar playing and gritty vocals brings a new dimension to these often overlooked tunes. Listen for example to the hard driving title song or the foot tapping boogie number "Big Fat Woman". While you're at it, don't miss the fantastic, surf induced, Thackery original "Blues Dog Prowl". I have said in prior reviews and I will say it again, former Nighthawk frontman, Jimmy Thackery, is one outstanding guitarist. This CD continues to prove that point and at the same time bring a little attention to Mr. R&B himself, Eddie Hinton.

3.0 out of 5 stars NOT HIS BEST WORK., January 21, 2003

Love his guitar work on his songs. But....this CD is not his best. It is not what you would expect from his previous CD's. He sounds tired. But....if you are a fan you will still buy it and listen to the songs. You will play the older CD's again to see the difference.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not His Best, July 9, 2003

By

This review is from: We Got It (Audio CD)

Although his guitarwork is nice on this release, it seems to be over produced. Not raw enough for me. I still find it hard to get past his vocals too. Wild night out gives a better taste of what Jimmy is all about; In your face guitar. Jimmy, no need to sing my brotha, just jam on it!
