Jimi "Prime Time"
Smith Jimi Smith was born into a musical family in Chicago and came under the tutelage of blues legend Jimmy Reed. Jimi gained an invaluable education in his younger years, playing guitar with Reed and with many of the bands and blues players around the Midwest. He relocated to Minneapolis at age nineteen and has been a integral part of the Twin Cities music scene ever since. Joining several solid local and national acts sharpened his playing and songwriting skills and now fronts his own band - Blazin'. This 12 song CD is peppered with his fine blues originals in a wide scope of grooves. Two songs were penned by his songwriter / drummer mother, Johnnie Mae Dunson. Jimi is ably assisted here in the studio by several long-standing friends and bandmates to assemble this fine collection of straight-ahead rockin' blues. Jimi Smith has the classic touch on guitar and vocals and plays inspirational mainstream American roots blues.
