JIMI "PRIME TIME" SMITH GIVE ME WINGS

ATOMIC THEORY CD 1998                                 ATM 1142


Recorded live at Blues Alley, in the heart of the warehouse district in downtown Minneapolis,
 Give Me Wings is a debut album for Jimi "Prime Time" Smith and the Prime Time Players, 
who are the house band there most weekends.
Backed by a host of terrific musicians, each with an extensive history of their own,
 Jimi has never sounded better. The Prime Time Players include Michael Pendergast 
on the Hammond B3 organ, Donald "Hye Pockets" Robertson on drums, and 
Mick Massof on bass. Also appearing on this CD are Minneapolis' West Bank fixture, 
Tom Burns on harmonica, on "U For Me", and Captain Jack McDuff on the B3, 
playing his own tune, "Walking The Dog".

    Very good album. As I was listening, I couldn't help but think how Smith would sound teamed up with Clapton? Pretty damned good I'd imagine!
    Many thanks
