Jimmy Spruill In Session CD New York-based session guitarist Wild Jimmy Spruill was a consistently busy session player during the late 1950s and early '60s.Largely unlauded during his own lifetime, he has posthumously become a semi-legendary, near-mythical figure.This collection presents a portrait of his early career, presenting No.1 hitss and big sellers alongside sough-after rarities.They all perfectly showcase Spruill’s percussive, rhythmic, scratchy guitar playing style.Featured artists include big names like Dave ‘Baby’ Cortez, Wilbert Harrison, The Commandos (i.e. King Curtis and his band), The Shirelles, Buster Brown, Elmore James and Bobby Lewis.Less well known, but no less worthy are names like Noble ‘Thin Man’ Watts, Tarheel Slim and Bobby Marchan.Also included in this 30 track feast are a trio of Spruill’s own, hugely-collectable solo singles.
