{2006 – 219 Records}

James (Jimbo) Mathus, the side-man of legendary Chicago Blues Great, Buddy Guy appeared on Buddy’s 2001 Grammy Nominee, Sweet Tea and 2004 Grammy Nominee, Blues Singer.

Old School Hot Wings is a Country Blues CD and a darn good recording! Jimbo’s CD will take you back to his home of Mississippi, to a simpler time when mountain men would make their own instruments. Listenin’ to it takes you back to the Delta, sittin’ round the porch drinkin’ a lemonade from a mason jar with a bit of Tennessee black label added for flavor. Old School Hot Wings adds elements of cowboy Gene Autry and highwayman Johnny Cash. This CD is “roots” as it gets.

Instruments used on this recording: guitar, kazoo, bass, mandolin, dobro, tub, snare, piano, tuba, typewriter, train whistle, washboard, lap steel guitar, fiddle, banjo and drums.
