Hope that he has the new CD with him on 20 January at Schwarzer Adler.
I want a signed copy.

Re: Jimmy Bowskill on Highways & Skyways tour with new CD

Concert was lol
Met alone 7 die-hard fans of Ryan McGarvey. That alone was sooooo great.
So far, gig of the month and the other two concerts that I've seen were not bad at all.

Too late to hear the new album now ... it's something for tomorrow ...

Re: Jimmy Bowskill on Highways & Skyways tour with new CD

I wonder if his new album will have his Free influence shining through. Looking forward to it and hope promoters can entice him to the UK.

Album won't be out till next week, but its got my thumbs up big time.  Very much the rock album with solid playing, and Jimmy's singing has developed quite nicely.  The real star here though is the songs themselves - many influences, but nothing derivative which is how I like my music.  It's early, but this album will be in my top five for 2012.

Re: Jimmy Bowskill on Highways & Skyways tour with new CD

Indeed great show at der Schwarzer Adler, Blues Sissi is right. I did an interview with Jimmy and band  for www.bluesmagazine.nl and it will be published, with the showreview soon, as possible. Hope end of the week.
Let you know when it is on.

Re: Jimmy Bowskill on Highways & Skyways tour with new CD

Re: Jimmy Bowskill on Highways & Skyways tour with new CD

Thanks for the link.
Not because of the 3 tracks but because of the set list from Siegen.
Wondered what where the 3 brand new songs Jimmy opened the show. They are great on CD but played live they'll blow you away lol

CD gets better and better lol

Re: Jimmy Bowskill on Highways & Skyways tour with new CD

Its been three years since I got up late at night to purchase an album.  I think it was Derek Trucks Band's Already Free back on Jan. 13, 2009.
Ever since I first sampled Jimmy Bowskill's Back Number I knew I had to have it and now the wait is over.  Back Number after one listen is nothing short of monumental, definitely better then Already Free.  The adjective that keeps popping in my head is earthy.  The songs are for the most part 100 proof rock with swirls of the blues and a dash alt-country.  Jimmy's guitar playing is less flash and more power riffs and like I said before the songs themselves are the real stars - it's gonna be hard to pick out a favorite cause that changes with each listen.  I doubt I'll hear a better rock album for quite some time after this puppy.

Thanks Curby. Since hearing him live when he opened for Joe and Jeff Beck, I've been a fan too. Time to make a purchase.
