"Jimmy is one of a kind... he's a real star!"
Chris Dreja from Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame inductees The Yardbirds
The album launch on Facebook has generated hundreds of likes and comments. Thank you everyone! Here are some of them...
“Jimmy Walker’s voice is in top form and he handles all the material on the album like a hot knife through butter. Sidetracked, a funky blues number, is a song from the new album that features some great guitar work from Manion and is just one example of a gifted group of musicians that knows how to play the blues.”
Ken Belferman, Ben Cisco’s World of Music
