A full half-century from when he started out in the blues business,
Jimmy McCracklin was still touring, recording, and acting like a
much younger man. In fact, he vehemently disputed his commonly
accepted birth date, but since he began recording back in 1945, it
seemed reasonable. McCracklin grew up in Missouri, his main
influence on piano being Walter Davis (little Jimmy's dad introduced
him to the veteran pianist). McCracklin was also a promising
pugilist, but the blues eventually emerged victorious.

McCracklin's liaison with Mercury was relatively brief, from late
1958 to the fall of 1960, and Bear Family has only managed to locate
13 songs for this CD. But it's a rewarding chapter in the pianist's
endlessly nomadic recording career, featuring his original dance
tunes "Georgia Slop" and "Let's Do It (The Chicken Scratch)", a New
Orleans-cut cover of Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues", and some
smoothly arranged (by Clyde Otis, Brook Benton's collaborator)
pop/R&B outings that suggest Mercury had big plans for McCracklin
that never quite panned out.
