Jimmy Thackery & The Drivers - 2003 - True Stories [256]
After 2002's We Got It, his tribute to soul singer Eddie Hinton, Thackery returns to mostly original material. He acquits himself with the capability of a veteran bluesman; everything here sounds crisp and clean, and the songs are uniformly excellent. Blues-rock isn't a genre known for subtlety and texture, but Thackery's music offers both, whether he's kicking things off with a bang on "Got It Going On," mellowing out with "Blues Man on a Saturday Night," or stomping ahead on "Being Alone." "I Think I Hear the Rain" is as sad and sweet as can be, but then he tightens things up with the likes of "Puttin' Out Fires" and "Dancin' with the Dawg." Like the best musicians, Thackery lets his music do a large share of the storytelling.
