The Jimmys are a seven piece Wisconsin band who are fortunate to have three writers in the band and a three man horn section that propels these 13 tracks brilliantly so that the hour of the CD passes in the blink of an eye. Everything here is original, singer and keyboard man Jimmy Voegli being the main writer, aided by drummer Mauro Magellan on three tracks, and guitarist/vocalist Perry Weber also providing five songs. The rest of the band is John Wartenweiler on bass, Mike Boman trumpet, Darren Sterud trumpet and trombone and Peterson Ross sax and clarinet. If you enjoy Roomful Of Blues (can there be anyone who doesn’t?) try The Jimmys – you won’t be disappointed! Superb album.

The Jimmys' album, Live From Transylvania at Sighisoara Blues Festival, was recorded on March 28, 2015 at the aforementioned Blues Festival in Romania and is a tremendous record of a barnstorming live performance, recorded with warmth and clarity. Led by keyboardist and vocalist, Jimmy Voegeli, The Jimmys also feature Perry Weber on guitar and vocals, Mauro Magellan on drums, John Wartenweiler on bass and the horn section of Darren Sterud (trombone/vocals), Charley Wagner (trumpet) and Pete Ross (saxophone). Interestingly, when he’s not performing, Voegeli helps out on the family’s fifth generation dairy farm. They till 1,500 acres of crop land, milk over 200 Brown Swiss dairy cows and export embryos, bull semen, and live animals all over the world. And, when he is performing, he leads a kick-ass blues band.
The band plays with a confidence that reflects the years of experience of its members, allied to an attitude and enthusiasm that demands a positive reaction from the audience. Live From Transylvania features six tracks written or co-written by Voegeli and Weber that have featured on previous studio releases by The Jimmys, together with four covers: Jim Liban’s “Can’t Hurt Me Anymore”; Mack Rice’s “Cold Women” (which features some great vocal harmonies as well as a demonstration of the art of space and dynamics); Rudy Toombs, Alan Moore and Elson Teat’s “Lonesome Whistle Blues”; and The Band’s “Ophelia”. Every track features some top drawer playing from the band and at times, such as on “Can’t Hurt Me Anymore”, you just don’t want the song to end as the musicians drive each other from rousing chorus to rousing chorus.
The album is dedicated to the memory of the late, great Candye Kane and is in many ways a fitting tribute to the much-missed Superhero and Toughest Girl Alive, given that it is stuffed full of great music played with attitude, a large smile and a joyously positive approach to performing.
