The late great Jack Nau of EMG put "Okie Fanokie Stomp" a song off Jimmy's "No Words" instrumental guitar CD on EMG's "25 Years-25 Artists" CD and his song "Titan Up" on his newest CD made it on EMG's "30 Years-30 Artists." Both are available in music stores around the world.
New band called "Ranch Dressing." Also plays with Jo-El Sonnier, 4 time Grammy nominee and the undisputed King Of Cajun. And when Jimmy is not on the road, he produces projects out of home studio.
(The following is an excerpt from the Santa Cruz Sentinel written by MARC PARRY.)
Tunesmith Jimmy Jackson isn't just another glittering leaf on the tree of popular music. His career branches out as accomplished acoustic, electric and slide guitar player, songwriter and music producer. As a player, Jackson's guitar instrumental CD, "No Words," demonstrates his mastery of blues, country, rock and funk styles, with licks reminiscent of Duane Allman, James Burton and Ry Cooder.
