Label Blue Rock'it Records Bonnie Raitt Isn't The Only Raitt Sibling With Talent Her Brother David Is A Talented Blues Vocalist In His Own Right As He Proves On This New Release With Jimmy Thackery. David And Jimmy Were Teenage Friends And It Was David Who Gave His Friend Jimmy Thackery A Buddy Guy Album That Set Jimmy On The Road To Becoming One Of The Hottest Guitar Players In The Blues/rock Scene Today. As For David He Spent Some Time Playing Upright Bass With Bonnie In The Northeast And Later When He Moved To The West Coast He Played In A Band With The Ford Brothers-Mark And Patrick. Thirty Years Later The Two Highschool Friends Reunite To Record An Album For Blue Rock'It Records Produced By Patrick Ford. That's It Features David Raitt-Vocals Jimmy Thackery-Guitar Dewayne Pate-Bass Ron E. Beck-Drums David Mathews-Keyboards Mic Gillette-Trumpet & Trombone And John Lee Saunders-Saxophones. The Songs On That's It Cover A Wide Variety Of Blues From Roosevelt Sykes' Driving Wheel Otis Rush's It Takes Time Mike Bloomfield's Me And A Really Cool Cover Of I'd Rather Be Blind Cripple And Crazy. Jimmy Thackery Only Sings On One Track As He Growls His Way Through Howlin' Wolf's How Many More Years.
For Me The Highlights Of This Album Are The Original Songs By Raitt And Thackery. They Show How Versatile The Two Are At Writing And Performing. David's Vocals Are Smooth And Easy On The Ear Whether He's Belting Out A Blues/rock Tune Or Laying Back On A Rhythm & Blues Groove And Jimmy's Guitar Playing Is As Wicked As Ever With Heaps Of Soul And Stinging Lead Breaks. An Outstanding Album And Highly Recommended. Track Listings
