Jimmy Rogers with Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters

Jimmy Rogers is one of the most important and influential figures in the history of Chicago blues. The last remaining link to such classic figures as Sonny Boy Williamson, Little Walter and Otis Spann, Jimmy helped pioneer and develop the archetypal Chicago Blues sound with his bandmate Muddy Waters from 1947 to 1954. Today he's still a leader in a vital and satisfying tradition. "All my career I've wanted to make a Chicago blues album. When I heard the tapes of this concert, I knew I had. . . . I will always be grateful to Jimmy Rogers." --Ronnie Earl
