Top alt.country/folk magazine "Maverick" gave us a (quite frankly) bloody brilliant review for our album in their november issue, with 4/5 stars.... here is just a sample of what they said;

"Full of creativity, sung and played in such an artistic way, BURN A LITTLE BRIGHTER is full of intimate and sincere stories accompanied by some of the finest melodies to date. If they continue to produce albums like this, Jimi and the Satellites will find they have made a wider impact, growing an almighty fan base, even Hollywood starr Kiefer Sutherland has claimed he is a lover of the new album." - 4/5 MAVERICK


nice!

Welsh music website New Sound Wales has very kindly awarded us as their Emerging Act for this year.

We played a show recently with the beautiful Duke & The King in swansea.... was a brilliant night, and made some real chums with the chaps from the band.

Our debut album is now available via itunes, cd baby, www.jimialexanderandthesatellites.com and www.countrymile.org as well as various independant record shops. if you see a copy in any shops on your travels, drop us a line to let us know! how exciting!

we have had some really great early reviews of the album, which we are pretty thankful and chuffed for. be sure to check out our review in the november issue of Maverick magazine.... sweet!
