 Jimi
Bott – Live Volume 1 Cheap Thrills
{2/8/05 - Roseleaf Records}
Jimi
Bott, the drummer touring with the Fabulous
Thunderbirds, has released his debut album depicting
only some of his tremendous work through the
years. The songs are never before released live
tracks featuring many of today's finest blues
artists including: Junior Watson, Kim Wilson,
Rod Piazza, Honey Piazza, Kid Ramos, Mark Hummel,
Kirk Fletcher and Alex Schultz to name a few.
A current resident of Portland, OR, when he
is not on tour with the T-Birds, Jimi is a regular
on the music scene there.
The
track listing is as follows:
1. The Eliminator (Rod Piazza
& the Mighty Flyers) -awesome tune that
really showcases Rod as a fantastic player!
2. That's What You Do To Me
(Junior Watson)-What can I say; I love Junior
Watson and his guitar playing is one of the
best in the business. This recording dates back
to 1987.
3. Peter Gunn (Mark Hummel
& the Blues Survivors featuring Luther Tucker)-spy
music type instrumental w/ music legend Luther
Tucker, recorded in 1985.
4. I'd Rather Be Blind, Crippled &
Crazy (Fabulous Thunderbirds)-Really
diggin' Kim's voice on this track.
5. Frosty (Curtis Smith &
Mike Schermer)-another tasty instrumental.
6. Cheap Thrills (Fabulous
Thunderbirds featuring Kid Ramos)-Kid is another
one of my favs; listen to that beautiful guitar!
7. Jam Up! (Alex Schultz)-my fav on
the disc--hand clappin' toe tappin beat! This
improvisation jam was recorded in 1992.
8. The Bumble Boogie/The Nutrocker
(Honey Piazza) - Blistering drum/piano instrumental
9. Sing, Sing, Sing (Jimi Bott)-Jimi
is highly regarded as one of the best blues
drummers; just take a listen
10. Tribute to Gene, Buddy and Louis
