Jimmy Burns Live at B.L.U.E.S.

Well Delmark, one of Blues premier labels, has done it again. Jimmy Burns, born in Dublin, Mississippi in 1943, presents a great set at the B.L.U.E.S. Club (Chicago) which gives the feeling of an old time Juke. This set is produced by Delmark, one of Chicago's oldest Blues labels. The song selection and the presentation is excellent. I would highly recommend the commentary selection that is included, so you can get some sense of Blues history and where Burns fits in the overall scene.The guitar player, Anthony Palmer, is a well known player in the Chicago area. He was with Professor Eddie Lusk's Band with Otis Rush and Eric Clapton in last year's release "Live In Montreux" (he was 20 years younger in that!). He has a great tone and plays a great set. His guitar was given to him by Luther Allison. This DVD is for Blues purists, not someone who is looking for rock guitar. Burns is also a very good player and an exceptional slide player. He can also play a good harp.This gives you the feel of the real Blues. It goes well with the DVD's "Last Of The Mississippi Jukes" and Robert Palmer's "Deep Blues". It shows one how the scene would have been in the early 1950s in the first electric Jukes. A very entertaining and informative DVD. The song selection is varied and interesting. I particularly like Jimmy's minor key gospel-inspired instrumental "Don't Be Late", a very haunting tune! Guest vocalist, Jesse Fortune, a former USA label recording artist, makes a big impression with his rendition of "Three O'Clock Blues". This DVD is a must for Blues fans it has good lenght and sound.The BBQ food looks good too! This is an entertaining addition to one's Blues library.

I have no complaints about this dvd. This dvd has a great bar room feel to it. All the songs are played live at the B.L.U.E.S bar in Chicago. The camera work and angles are good for any guitarist looking to "cop" some licks.

This is a long overdue release - but one to be relished by all fans of the blues and good music generally; an opportunity to see one of the real blues greats in concert in Chicago. Jimmy Burns doesn't get the recognition that he deserves in my humble opinion, but this dvd release will hopefully go some way to remedying that.Great sound and picture quality, coupled with a great backing band and an interview with the man himself ... all in all worth every penny. Take a listen to the man's music and then pick up this dvd while you can.Excellent.

Bluesman di Chicago, chitarrista di valore, Burns non ha mai raccolto quello che avrebbe meritato. Questo Live, registrato nell'Agosto 2006, conferma il suo valore. Blues secco ed elettrico, con un trio affiatato alle spalle.

tous à "t" dit par les deux commentateurs initiaux ,un DVD filmé dans un resto "steakhouse ...enplein service ,C'est le coup de feu et le T Bone est saignant comme le blues de ce bon pro qu'est Jimmy BURNS un grand monsieur , qui manie le manche avec justesse dans les odeurs ,de Barbecue ,non restitués , pour un public plus passionné de descendre sa "bud "que d'écouter les subtilités de 2 guitaristes .Un peu triste mais plus humain qu'un concert aseptisé à Las Vegas ( pléonasme ! ).existe en CD (c'est la version végétarienne ) la musique mais sans les steacks .
