Jimmy Rushing - Livin The Blues
Review by George Toma
Livin The Blues by Jimmy Rushing is a classic album that showcases the legendary singer's powerful vocals and soulful style. Released in 1976, the album features Rushing's signature blues and jazz-infused songs, with a mix of upbeat numbers and slow ballads.
The album opens with the lively track "Boogie Woogie", which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Rushing's dynamic voice is on full display, backed by a tight band that includes saxophones, trumpets, and a swinging rhythm section.
Other standout tracks on the album include the bluesy "Going to Chicago Blues", the romantic ballad "Gee Baby Ain't I Good to You", and the upbeat "Blues in the Dark". Each song is expertly crafted and perfectly suited to Rushing's voice and style.
