No doubt about it. Jimmy Thackery is indeed a sensational guitarist . His Studio recordings are always clean and his guitar tone seems larger than life, however the studio does not do the man justice. Live is the best option to see Mr. Thackery. Then and only then you receive the full frontal ax- attack of this journeyman of the blues. Thackery wan an integral part of the Washington DC Band; The Nighthawks, and helped put them on the map before going solo in 1986. The three piece power blues trio forming Thackery and the Drivers won international acclaim and continues to tour today. In 1993 I caught them in Cincinnati at a place called Jefferson Hall. A memorable show happened. One for the books. Just happened to take the trusty Nikon to record the event.
