Jimmy Sweetwater "Dirt Road By The Tracks"
If
you caught JoMama last summer at the Sands Blues Pool Party you may
remember a guy sitting in playing a washboard loaded with all kinds of
percussive instruments. That was Jimmy Sweetwater, a long time Bay Area
musician and friend of Paul Covarelli. Following up on our conversation
that evening he sent me his cd. As a fan of acoustic, deep South back
porch music I fell in love with this recording and listen to it on long
car rides.
Jimmy has a splendid vocal style backed up with acoustic
guitar, harmonica and a little of the afore mentioned washboard. It is
delightful in it's musical spareness, reminiscent of the origins of the
Blues. There are cover's of Lightening Hopkins, Brownie McGhee and
others along with original material. Whether singing a cover or an
original Jimmy stays true to those who came before him on the Blues
highway.
