Jimmy Witherspoon with Brother Jack McDuff - The Blues Is Now (1967)

Jimmy Witherspoon with Brother Jack McDuff - The Blues Is Now (1967)

   Jimmy Witherspoon ....the voice and the blues......with Brother Jack !   Holy crap kids !

   Jimmy Witherspoon released a number of excellent albums on Verve in the mid-late '60s with "The Blues Is Now" being one of the good un's.   Fans of Blues will love this album......dark smokey atmospheres with heavy soul vocals, great organ and superb Guitar work from Melvin Sparks .  I also love the brass section which works so well with the organ grinds , guitar and soulful vocals of Witherspoon.

   After hearing this album Ì`m gonna move to the outskirts of town`......
