Jimmy "preacher" Ellis

[Mikevague]

He's playing Hollywood race track in Inglewood, California sometime this November...

Hopefully he'll do Soul and Funk, not just blues

Anyone on here seen him before, or have some favorites by him?

[Sanquine]

Sure have

I'm gonna do it by myself - Jewel

Awesome record and what a voice

Never seen him, though sure it'll be an fantastic experience especially seeing him perform the above live

Saw him at the Blues Estafette in Holland a few years back. He had a set of all 12 bar blues prepared, but Colin Dilnot and myself managed to talk to him beforehand and persuaded him to do a few verses from 'Happy To Be' 'I'm Gonna Do It By Myself' and 'Looking Through The Eyes Of Love'. Great guy, very friendly but usually sticks to straight blues for the white folk....

Great artist, "Work with what you've got" on Ride is my favourite.

Nope, Doesn't sound like Jimmy, and he confirmed he never recorded those tracks.....
