Barbiani,Jimi - Still In Love - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Jimi Barbiani Band is the current project of Italian blues rock slide guitarist Jimi Barbiani, who is considered one of the best in his field in Europe. His style is influenced by Jimi Hendrix, Joe Bonamassa, Jeff Beck, Free, and Gov't Mule. The band's unique sound is created by the interaction of it's members' different personalities. A driving rhythm section lays the foundation for the maestro's brilliant and impressive guitar playing. The band's three albums (InchBack On The Tracks,Inch InchBlue Side,Inch and InchBoogie Down The Road - Live!Inch) not only sold very well in his home country, but also found fans in the US. Videos by Jimi Barbiani sometimes reach over 500,000 views. Before heading back on tour through Europe in winter/spring 2026 - there are also a few festivals lined up - the new LP InchStill In LoveInch will be released on CD, vinyl, and of course digitally. The centerpiece of the album is the almost eight-minute version of Prince's InchPurple Rain.Inch Here, Barbiani pulls out all the stops - the genius from Minnesota would have loved it. But the JBB also masters quieter and gentler tones, as the dreamy acoustic instrumental track InchLittle MarthaInch shows. The initially slightly sluggish InchSpend Me Your Light,Inch on the other hand, exudes plenty of Southern feeling, while InchWe Must DreamInch pays homage to boogie - somewhere between Canned Heat and ZZ Top. If you like down-to-earth, catchy blues rock, this is the place for you.

Jimmie Davis was one of the most popular and respected hillbilly singers of the 1930s, a natural inheritor, along with likes of Gene Autry, of the mantle of the great Jimmie Rodgers and who influenced a generation of artists whose work is now part of what is called Americana. This collection is an anecdotal selection of recordings from his prolific output through two decades, during which time he also made his mark in the political arena as Governor of Louisiana, uniquely combining his musical and political personas to their mutual benefit. The aim of the collection is simply to provide an entertaining and representative cross-section of his work through what was probably the core creative period of his career, as well as being the material which was the most influential on his contemporaries and the generation of country stars who followed. Jimmie Davis was one of the artists that bridged the gap between the rural country blues and hillbilly music of the 30s and the commercial country and western styles of the 1950s. We hope this collection is a fitting tribute to the contribution he made to the genre.
