O’s Notes: Jimmy’s rich vocals are complimented with the jazzy guitar licks of Kenny Burrell. These jazzy blues are well articulated and sung from the heart. The resonance is excellent over all 22 tracks, songs like “Blues in the Morning” and “Man Don’t Cry” from sessions in 1964-65. Whether you’re a blues lover or not, you’ll appreciate this music and Witherspoon’s luscious voice.
