Jimmy McCracklin

313 fans

After an early career marked by a strict imitation of Walter Davis, Jimmy McCracklin, a subtle pianist and singer with a slightly veiled voice, recorded for various labels, including Chess, a prolific body of work, characteristic of Californian blues with, in addition, remarkable writing, concision, sense of phrase, psychological accuracy.... the Walk", "Just Got To Know" and "Think" have become classics.
