Jimmy Liggins & His Drops Of Joy: Knocking You Out (2023) CD

JIMMY LIGGINS & HIS DROPS OF JOY – KNOCKING YOU OUT – A SINGLES COLLECTION FEATURING ALL THE HITS 1947-1959 - (uudenveroinen)

JASMINE RECORDS 2023 CD JASMCD3064

Joe Liggins' guitarist brother, Jimmy had just a handful of hits compared to his more distinguished brother whose career highlights can be heard on Jasmine CD JASMCD3064. Jimmy's raw R&B sound was distinctly different to the smooth almost urbane sounds of his elder brother but both of the brothers have key recordings that give them equal stature amongst influential R&B performers of the 1940s and 50s.

Jimmy's discs present a sound which is actually far closer to the spirit of rock and roll than many of the discs cited as being influences on the rock and roll explosion.

Features his classic drinking songs, 'Drunk' and 'I Ain't Drunk' plus many more great tracks.

This collection is an absolute must for all blues and R&B fans.
