Jimmy Thackery & The Drivers - Waterfront Park, Portland, Oregon 2002

Another highly recommended show shared by the Rippin Frog: Jimmy Thackery & The Drivers.

Born in Pittsburgh and raised in Washington, Thackery co-founded The Nighthawks with Mark Wenner in 1972 and went on to record over twenty albums with them. In 1986 he began touring with The Assassins, a six-piece original blues, rock and R&B ensemble which he had previously helped start as a vacation band when The Nighthawks took one of their rare breaks. Originally billed as Jimmy Thackery and The Assassins, the band toured the U.S. Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, South, and Texas regions. The Assassins released a variety of recordings on the Seymour record label, two on vinyl (No Previous Record and Partners in Crime) and the 1989 CD Cut Me Loose.
In the wake of the Assassins 1991 break-up, Thackery has been leading a trio, Jimmy Thackery and the Drivers, whose early recordings were for the San Francisco, California based Blind Pig Records. In 2002 Thackery released, We Got It, his first album on Telarc and in 2006, In the Natural State with Earl and Ernie Cate on Rykodisc. In 2007, he released Solid Ice again with The Drivers His latest album 'Feel the Heat' was released in April 2011.

Howlin' Wolf - Live in Denver 73

There was a request asking for Howlin' Wolf music and our friend Rippin Frog managed to get this show here, one more time big thanks to the 'frog.

Howlin' Wolf (a/k/a Chester Burnett) was one of the true originals of the blues. His recordings for Sun and Chess from the 1950's until his death in 1976 are among the finest Chicago blues recordings of all time. Few vocalists possess the power and passion of Howlin' Wolf.
This concert is with eddie shaw and his band   unfortunately Howlin wolf is only on the last few tracks  stilll  a great set!!
Anyone looking for the Wolf live stuff I recommend Howlin Wolf Live in Cambridge Ma 1966 and Live in Europe 1964 you cant go wrong with these ! there is a couple other bootlegs like Live Key Largo's, Chicago (2-23-69) but sound quality of these is poor at best if anyone interested I guess i could load at some point.

JAMES HARMON BAND
ED BURKES
BOSTON, MA.
JULY 19, 1988

Recorded with
Nakamichi CM300s and Sony D5
Sony stand alone
EAC/WAV/Flac level 8

Music journalist Tony Russell described Harman as an "amusing songwriter and an excellent,
unfussy blues harp player"
Harman performed as a blues harmonica player and singer in Chicago, New York, and elsewhere before
moving to southern California in the 1970s. There, his Icehouse Blues Band played alongside Big Joe Turner, John Lee Hooker,  Freddie King, Muddy Waters, Albert King, B. B. King, T-Bone Walker, Lowell Fulsom, Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson, Johnny "Guitar" Watson, and Albert Collins.[3] In 1977 he formed the James Harman Band. Over the years their line-up has included Phil Alvin and Bill Bateman, who left in 1978 to form The Blasters; Gene Taylor, who departed in 1981, also to join  the Blasters before moving on to The Fabulous Thunderbirds; and Kid Ramos. Alumni also included the late Hollywood Fats who, after leaving his own band in 1980, played alongside Harman for five years.
Harman became known as a skilled, reliable musician, whether for a backing band or leading his own ensemble. His band recorded several albums during the 1980s, before settling in 1990 at Black Top Records.
Numerous Harman songs have been used in films and on television, including "Kiss of Fire" (from Those Dangerous Gentlemen), which was on the soundtrack of The Accused. Harman has received
several W. C. Handy Blues Award nominations, for songs on his own releases and on other artists' albums. He has been inducted into the Alabama Music Hall of Fame and received the "Best Blues Album of the Year"  award from the Real Blues magazine.
James Harman blues artist since 1962, 31 releases as of 2013, tours 28 countries every spring, summer and fall. He is most likely playing somewhere today !!
Dont miss him if he is in your neighbourhood!
