Jimmy McCracklin…..?
favorite songs? collections? albums? favorite songs he wrote recorded by someone else? anything else that comes to mind?
question inspired by finding “my rocking soul” (1963) at a thrift store and being treated to some nice piano driven west coast jump blues.
Hello my friend.
I’m somewhat embarrassed to admit that I don’t know alot about Jimmy. I did see him a couple of times at blues fests-San Francisco and Long Beach I think. I know that he co-wrote Tramp with Lowell Fulson, who I was fortunate enough to sit in with at a house party in Moreno Valley (near Riverside, CA) in the late 80s. I also know he was one of the many great West Coast blues men. You’ve given me the motivation to explore further!
