Oh Jimmy Thackery is such a bad ass!!

He's been on a few blues cruises.  Once, at a sail away, he was set up on the outside deck just whaling away...  We were next to another cruise ship, everyone from that ship came out to the side rail to hear him play and jam with us.

See him live if you can!


  Sounds like a blast, even if he was doing his Capt. Ahab imitation.

My daughter of 4 plays free games on an andriod phone with the same type of background music. I have started to dislike this type of music.
Really really not my taste of music.

Your memory must be impaired if you forgot to mention the hint of vomit that always accompanied the stale beer smell at that illustrious establishment.

The Double Door Inn!! Wow! Now there's a flashback!

Yeah the Hawks were great when he was the guitarist. He was the first guy I ever saw play through a wireless connection. It was freaky back then.

Saw the Nighthawks several times in the late 70's. I remember their first trip to Columbia, MO: They walked onstage to kick off the set, and the bass player was nearly electrocuted right there. WOW. Thackery knocked him off the mic stand and they ran offstage. They came back out about 20-30 minutes later and just KILLED. Rockin!!!

Anybody know why this is called Burford's Bop? That's my last name and I don't even use it anymore, because I do music professionally and it sounds so ugly. I thought it might be a tribute to some cool musician who had the nerve to use that name...maybe I should, too...
Posted 18 years ago by radiomao    [ Reply ]
I saw JT about 10 times by now.....he's an awesome player....I've seen him in small clubs......he is a VERY dynamic player.....I've seen him play so quiet, where the band comes way down with him, to the point you can her the strings on his guitar being plucked!!....right from the stage(not thru his amp!)....awesome player....if you can see him live, do so......his recordings do get a little repetitive....live is where he shines....he is pure blues!!!

At first glance, I thought the title was 'Buford's Burp'. Cool, swingtastic, head-noddin' tune.
